    1/1

    While the media report Israeli violence as retaliatory, the fact is thatin every cycle of violence Palestinians are killed first and in fargreater numbers. In the uprising that began in fall of 2000, 140

    Palestinians were killed before a single Israeli was killed in Israel; 82

    Palestinian children were killed before a single Israeli child was killed.

    Palestinian resistance groups only began launching their mostly

    small, home-made rockets after many years of Israeli invasions. T h e

    recent truce was broken by Israel on Nov. 4 with the killing of 6 Gazans,

    at which time Palestinian rocket fire resumed.To date Palestinian rock-ets have killed a total of 28 people. In 2008, Israelis killed over 850Palestinians and Palestinians killed 35 Israelis.

    Palestinians are indigenous to the land; Israel was created in

    Palestine 60 years ago through the violent expulsion of over 750,000

    Christians and Muslims in a colonial enterprise to create a Jewish state.

    Killed in Gaza Violence Israeli forces are massacring people in Gazright now with our money.We are obligated to stop it.

    Like shooting fish in an over-crowded barrel, in 13 days sin12/27/08 Israel has killed 257 children and injured over 3,100 mewomen, and children, using U.S. supplied F-16 fighter jets, A p a c helicopters, naval gunboats, and tanks against a mostly unarmed po

    ulation... and the onslaught continues. American taxpayers givIsrael $7 million per day. It is one of the worlds wealthiest nations.

    Israel controls all entrances and exits to Gaza, creating whate ffectively an open-air prison. It has routinely prevented food and me

    icines from entering Gaza, creating, according to relief agencies, cat

    strophic conditions. Israel has the 4th most powerful military on earth

    Ask your senators and representatives (202-224-3121)and Pres-Elect Obama (202-540-3000) to demand thatIsrael stop this cruel and illegal use of our tax money.

    10-month-old Waseem

    Hamdan died in Gaza on

    July 17, 2008 because

    Israel prevented him from

    being transfered to a hos-

    pital outside Gaza. His

    death came a month after

    Israel signed a deal that it

    would lift the 12-month

    siege responsible for the

    death of over 200 patients.
