The Israeli Army has invaded the Gaza Strip with a military force
estimated at 10,000 troops using American-supplied military equipment,
tanks and bulldozers backed by helicopter gunships.
This invasion represents a serious escalation to the ongoing attacks
and carnage that Israel has been committing against the 1.5 million
Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip over the past eight
days.
Although Israel's war crimes against Palestinian civilians goes back
decades, Israel's aerial bombardment over the past week alone has
resulted in the killing of more than 450 Palestinian men, women and
children and 2,000 have been wounded.
The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated areas in the world
with more than 6000 civilians living per sq km.
In some areas such as the Jabalya refugee camp, one of the eight
refugee camps in the Strip, 100,000 people live in an area no more than
1.4 sq km.
The ground invasion will lead to a significant increase in civilian
casualties.
STOP THE MASSACRES NOW!

Bring your Palestinian Flags and Signs, and tell your Friends and
Neighbors
- The Israeli airstrikes represent serious violations of
international law, including the Geneva Conventions and a range of
international humanitarian law.
- The U.S. is complicit in the Israeli violations - both directly
and indirectly.
- The timing of the air strikes has far more to do with U.S. and
Israeli politics than with protecting Israeli civilians.
- This serious escalation will push back any chance of serious
negotiations between the parties that might have been part of the Obama
administration's plans.
Get involved in the campaign to end the Israeli attacks and occupation
of Palestinian land.
