Stop the Bloodshed! Ceasefire Now!

Press Release, March 7, 2008
Stop the Bloodshed! Ceasefire Now!
The
Coalition Against the Gaza Siege calls for an immediate end
to the
killing and violence, on both sides of the
conflict. Bloodshed does
not compensate for bloodshed,
and revenge is no solution.
Any attack on, wounding or
killing of unarmed civilians - as happened
in the attack
on the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva as during the IDF attacks
and
bombings of Gaza and in the shooting of missiles at
Sderot,
Ashkelon and the Western Negev - must end
forthwith.
It is the civilians on both sides who are
exposed to harm and who pay
the full price for the
manoeuvres of the political and
military
leaderships.
We call upon the leaderships, of
both sides, including all
organizations and parties, to
cease all violence immediately.
We call upon the
international community and the world public opinion
to
firmly demand an end to the mutual killing and
bloodshed.
In order to achieve that, we call for a full
and mutual ceasefire, as
a first step negotiating an end
to the occupation and an end to the
conflict between the
two peoples, to a full peace which is the only
hope for
our
future.
