From: Ali Abunimah [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] March 11, 2002 -- 5.30 PM Eastern Time -- 12.30 AM GAZA ISRAEL ATTACKING JABALIYA REFUGEE CAMP-- URGENT ACTION REQUESTED 13 DEAD, DOZENS INJURED IN ONGOING ATTACK IN GAZA Dear Friends, This is an attempt to generate a mass reaction to a massacre BEFORE it happens. I need you to take a minute to help very urgently. PLEASE READ THIS SHORT ALERT THEN CALL THE PHONE NUMBERS BELOW. CNN is reporting that 2,000 Israeli troops and dozens of tanks have just attacked Jabaliya refugee camp in the occupied Gaza Strip and already 13 people have been killed. It is now just after midnight in Gaza, late afternoon in the United States. Jabaliya is very crowded with men, women and children refugees who are almost defenceless against the might of Israel's army which has shown it can do as it pleases, under orders from Sharon to inflict as many casualties as possible, and without any action from the international community. Over the past few weeks, Israel has carried out attacks on refugee camps throughout Palestine, killing and injuring hundreds of civilians, and causing widespread destruction. In addition, it has systematically prevented medical care from reaching the injured and has shot dead 15 medical personnel in the past week. Without forceful intervention, Israel will continue these massacres. Over the past twenty four hours, Israeli forces raided Dheisheh and Aida camps near Bethlehem, and Qalqilya, arresting every male child they could find over the age of 13, according to Haaretz, and any men up to the age of 45. WE CAN TRY TO STOP THE NEXT MASSACRE ACTION REQUESTED: Please call the United States Department of State IMMEDIATELY and tell them that you heard reports Israel is about to attack Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza, and that the United States has a responsibility to stop it. CALL THE OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE COLIN POWELL DIRECTLY. THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO PASS YOU OFF TO THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS BUREAU WHICH IS ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE DAY. TELL THEM IT CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING AND INSIST MESSAGE ON LEAVING A MESSAGE FOR POWELL.
