[fse-esf] A call for an international civil mission to Lebanon

Immediate cease fire-Solidarity to the people of Lebanon and Palestine

A call for an international civil mission to Lebanon

The Israeli war machine continues to kill hundreds of Lebanese civilians and 
destroy Lebanon’s infrastructure. The humanitarian crisis is getting worse 
as days go by. International community (United Nations and European Union 
included) is unable or unwilling to stop the massacre.  Furthermore, the 
United States support Israeli aggression both politically ant practically.
We believe that this is the time for the intervention of social movements. 
It is extremely important to find the way to make citizen’s voice to be 
heard.  It is critical to promote the demand for an immediate cease fire.

As we did during the siege of Arafat’s compound, we propose to organize an 
international civil mission to Lebanon. Such a mission would  express our 
solidarity to the people of Lebanon and Palestine and demand the immediate 
cease fire.

In Greece we have already started the preparation of a civil mission. Right 
now it seems highly possible to arrive at the area by the end of next week.

We know that activists from all over Europe are interested in participating 
in the project. We are sure that altogether we can construct a unified 
international mission.

It is time to act!
