Sign the Petition to President Bush
 | "I want to tell my president Mr. Bush to tell Israel to please stop destroying the roads in Lebanon. I don't know how we can come back home with all the roads and airports destroyed now. Please Mr. President I know you can help the people here in Lebanon." - Saleem Baltaji, Age 12 Our online petition calls for President Bush to: 1) An immediate ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, |
Join Saleem and other concerned Americans in telling President Bush that only diplomacy can bring about a resolution to the serious and deadly problems in the region. Israel's actions have done nothing to contribute to an environment in which a sustainable, longterm solution can be found. Indeed, Israel's disproportionate response to Hezbollah's reckless action has made Israel's northern border not more, but less secure. "Dear President Bush, Now, more than ever, it is important that the United States rightly assume the mantle of leadership in the Middle East. Daily, the violence in the region is devastating innocent civilians. Therefore, it is urgent that your office call for an immediate ceasefire, appoint a special envoy with the full authority of the President, take steps to bolster the democratic efforts in Lebanon and Palestine and increase desperately needed relief aid to address the growing humanitarian crisis in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip." |
Israel's systematic bombing campaign of Lebanon has devastated a country that had rebuilt itself. The international community has recognized the need for strong action and has repeatedly called for a ceasefire.SIGN NOW
