CFL ALERT: TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO DEMAND ISRAELI RESTRAINT AGAINST PALESTINIANS.
In the last two weeks alone Israel has killed an unprecedented number of Palestinian civilians including pregnant women, children, and entire families. Not once did the U.S. speak out against these crimes. In retaliation for these attacks Palestinian groups have kidnapped an Israeli soldier. Israel is now promising collective punishment for all Palestinians and have entered Gaza under indiscriminate gunfire. http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/CFLWeb/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=4413
