Stop the U.S./Israeli War on Lebanon and Palestine!
Picket the Israeli Consulate!

57 were killed in one Israeli missile attack on a home in Qana last Sunday, 37 were children. The Washington Post reported how "in the hospital's courtyard, Mohammed Shalhoub sat with lifeless eyes, his right hand broken. His wife, Khadija, and his other, Hasna, were dead, as were his daughters Hawra and Zahra, ages 12 and 2. So were his sons, Ali, 10, Yahya, 9, and Assem, 7." Mr. Shalhoub lost 45 members of his extended family in one night. This bomb, like almost every other piece of military hardware that Israel possesses, was manufactured by the United States and given to Israel as 'aid.'

This act was so horrific it forced Israel to say they would suspend bombing for 48 hours while investigating. This was yet another Israeli lie, and while the bombing slowed briefly, it has ever stopped. Now we have the return of a full scale Israeli aerial assault to compliment 10,000 invading soldiers that are pushing towards the Litani River.

This U.S. backed Israeli war must end immediately!
