To The Concerned Citizen of The World:
"Killing innocent civilians is NOT an act of self-defense.
Destroying a sovereign nation is NOT a measured response."
Lebanese civilians have been under the constant attack of the
state of Israel for several days. The State of Israel, in
disregard to international law and the Geneva Convention, is
launching a maritime and air siege targeting the entire population
of the country. Innocent civilians are being collectively punished
in Lebanon by the state of Israel in deliberate acts of terrorism
as described in Article 33 of the Geneva Convention.
The Lebanese people feel left out by the world that is turning a
blind eye on the savagery of the Israeli state. Israel does not
seem to be capable of approaching any problem outside the realm of
the military power bestowed on it by the government of the United
States of America and other western governments.
We are writing you this letter in the hope that this massacre is
immediately stopped. It is the universal duty of each individual
to defend the innocents and expose the truth. The numerous
civilian victims of the Israeli operations are increasing by the
hour. The viciousness of the attacks has attained terrifying
levels where a child has been cut in three while another was half
burned.
The Israeli war machine, in its blind savagery, is destroying not
only our lives but the foundations that could help the civilians
survive beyond their massacre. The Israeli Defense Forces are
destroying in few hours what Lebanon has spent years and billions
of dollars to rebuild.
Up until now more than 100 Lebanese civilians have been killed,
hundreds wounded, bridges and infrastructure destroyed, refugees
are leaving Beirut in droves and worst of all the enforced siege
might lead to a human catastrophe in the next 48 hours. There must
be an end to this cycle of violence and continuous violation of
international laws and basic ethical behavior.
Between the blindness of the international community and the
deafness of the Arab one, the besieged Lebanese population has no
way out.
Peace begins with justice
