Join THREE Important ACTION CALLS - for the Truth about Gaza!
Update: July 2, 2009* - Take A Pen submitted to UN Fact Finding Mission!
What has been Done - and WHAT CAN WE DO NOW?
Three independent initiatives and campaigns raised their voices for the truth and against prejudice; their common denominators being: their huge importance, and their connection with Gaza. You are invited to join all three or any one of the calls, which, in reverse chronological order, are:
(1) Take A Pen submitted to UN Fact Finding Mission!: Eleven major war crimes Hamas has committed || Maurice Ostroff's latest Open Letter to UN Chief Justice Richard Goldstone. Let's Write our short Letters to the UN Commission, to Judge Goldstone and to UN Secretary-General!
(2) Haaretz - Let's fight Another Libel against Israel in the Haaretz about deliberate "insufficient supply to Gaza" together with CAMERA call
(3) SIGN the PETITION: A justified counter-attack to accusations about Gaza is: Add Your signature NOW to more than 85,000 signatures on Take-A-Pen's global Petition to UN: "Hamas leaders to be brought to Trial for War Crimes".
Background: The Gaza War Continues
If you thought the Gaza war is over - think again. Five months after Israel held its fire and pulled out of Gaza again, the PR war about Gaza is going on at full force, about what happened there before, during and after Israel's military operation ("Cast Lead"). The PR results of devastating libels against Israel will stay with us for years - if not prevented now.
We heard Iran's President in Geneva - actually we didn't hear anybody else there - and the US President intends to listen to him further. A UN Fact-finding Commission hjas started soon the investigation of "grave war crimes committed in Gaza" - by one side: Israel. The Libya-, Sudan- and Iran-led UN "human-rights" preparatory process smells of heavy prejudice; they left out even the word "alleged" - obligatory until a crime is proven. To prevent even worse things to come, we present you below three important Actions for Truth about Gaza - consider joining these ACTIONS.
UNtold Stories
Unfounded accusations of Israel, Palestinian-made out of thin air, fly uncontrolled on the agenda-driven sky of the Biased Broadcasting Corporation and in papers like the once independent minded The Independent. Israel bashing is bonton in Britain, in Venezuela, among Washington liberals. The true stories remain untold.
- That before Israel's incursion to the Gaza Strip on 20 December 2009, for years several rocket attacks were launched daily from Hamas-ruled Gaza onto Israeli civilians in towns and villages around the border - remained untold or were downplayed by the media. 20,000 Israelis running for shelters more than 6000 times (!), 15 dead and hundreds of maimed and traumatized Israeli citizens are ‘dog-bite-man' only for the BBC camp. Just imagine, if, proportionally, 600 Americans were killed by rockets launched from neighboring Puerto Gaza... and told not worthy to be reported or to be fought against...
- That during the military operation the Israeli Defense Forces made efforts "unprecedented in the history of human warfare" to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties - were told loudly by British and other military experts, but not by the mass media, which, led by the BBC News, preferred the higher rating of Palestinians-supplied stories about alleged Israeli atrocities. "In the worst case" the stories were caught as deceitful or fabricated - and even then no apologies were heard.
- That Israel continued to feed and provide for the enemy's population both during and after the armed conflict - unprecedented again in human history - were not only untold, but were, with Rudyard Kipling's words, ‘twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools". No need to tell: the BBC News led the knaves this time too.

* Take-A-Pen editorial, written by Endre MOZES chairman@takeapen.org
Durban II and Gaza: Accusations against Israel about the Gaza Operation have turned out to be, again, false libels. But other anti-Israel lies and libels were effectively told in Geneva - Durban II. The UN conference against racism on April 20 in Geneva turned again to a hate festival against Israel, although in forms different from those of Durban I in 2001. (About Durban II see http://www.european-forum-on-antisemitism.org/durban-review-watch/ or AJC's Durban II Countdown.) For a counter-action to the Israel-bashing Sign the Petition: "Hamas Leaders to Trial for War Crimes!": Read the petition | Sign the Petition After signing the Petition - distribute it to as many people as possible
