Stop the bombing, say peace activists
The second bombing of Qana, in south Lebanon, on July 30 in which 52 people, including 30 children, were killed, is yet more evidence of Israels scorched-earth policy.
According to Mr Keysar Trad, from the Islamic Friendship Association, It marks a tragic deepening of Israels war crimes in Lebanon.
The fact that it has taken until now for the US to even start talking about calling for a cease-fire is an indictment of the Bush administration which has supported Israels indiscriminate targeting of civilians as 'its right to defend itself'. The Howard government must join the world community in condemning the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Gaza, said Mr Trad.
Ten years ago, Israels bombing of Qana prompted a world-wide condemnation. The will of the people of Lebanon and world wide pressure eventually forced Israel to withdraw from Lebanon.
According to Ms Anna Samson from Stop the War Coalition, The world has to stand up and say the same again now.
Stop the War Coalition and a number of the Arabic-Australian organisations are demanding that the Australian government add its voice to the call for Israel to stop the bombing, and withdraw from Lebanon and Gaza, said Ms Samson.
Stop the War Coalition is organising together with the Arabic-Australian community another mass protest rally in Sydney on August 12 to demand Israel stop the bombing.
