Palestinian Baby Holding Protest Sign
Protest for Lebanon and Gaza © Linda Dawn Hammond / IndyFoto July 29, 2006 "Of the 615 people so far confirmed dead, Save The Children says that almost half are children. They make up one third of the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18, according to Unicef."
WORLD WIDE PETITION - CEASEFIRE CAMPAIGN

Help save the children, victims of war .
This photo was not staged. A 2 year old Palestinian baby, Isabelle, playing with a protest sign. Her mother had poured some water on her to cool off and it had created a small puddle, which the child had then played with. Across from Israeli Consulate, July 29th, 2006 protest march from the Israeli Consulate to the American consulate, Toronto, in support of the Lebanese people caught up in the deadly Israeli attack on their country. Demand for an immediate ceasefire. Unfortunately, no-one in "power" appears to be listening.
Innocent people, the majority of whom are children, continue to die. How many perished today, as the buildings they were hiding in came tumbling down around them? Places where the media either cannot or dare not penetrate? The targeted bombing of the UN observer post, with the resultant deaths of 4 unarmed foreign peacekeepers, appears to have achieved what may have been its intended goal- the UN has since pulled out its 50 remaining unarmed observers from their posts along the Southern border. This could have been STOPPED WEEKS AGO! "Two soldiers" are no justification for this kind of carnage- the "response" to their "kidnapping" serves as a cynical excuse for Israel to destabilize a neighbouring country, compromising their sovereignty and elected government's authority. Nato forces, if employed, should be there to keep the peace, NOT prop up a puppet government put in place by occupying forces. Let's hope that isn't the next strategy...
If you have the stomach to see what Israel did to the children of Quana, go to this image site- but be warned, it is graphic.

In five months of research, Human Rights Watch investigated 94 cases of air, artillery and ground attacks by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to discern the circumstances surrounding the deaths of 510 civilians and 51 combatants, nearly half the at least 1,125 Lebanese deaths during the conflict. Of the approximately 510 Lebanese civilian deaths investigated by Human Rights Watch, at least 300 were women or children.
