Emergency Action Needed to Stop Israel's War!

George Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert are creating a humanitarian and political catastrophe in Lebanon and Gaza. Israeli military strikes have killed more than 300 Lebanese, almost all of them civilians; destroyed much of Lebanon's infrastructure; put Israeli citizens at much greater risk (29 Israelis have been killed since June 27th); and made a full-scale regional war a possibility.

United for Peace and Justice urgently calls on the international community and the U.S. to pressure Israel to immediately cease its military operations in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
