IN THIS NEWSLETTER: 1) BRING CHILDREN'S SHOES TO THE DEMONSTRATION 2) THEY'RE COMING FROM EVERY CORNER OF BRITAIN 3) MUSLIM COUNCIL OF BRITAIN SUPPORTS SATURDAY'S DEMONSTRATION 4) THE INDEPENDENT SUPPORTS THE DEMONSTRATION 5) MORE STEWARDS URGENTLY NEEDED 6) MANY THANKS FOR YOUR DONATIONS
*********************************** 1) BRING CHILDREN'S SHOES TO THE DEMONSTRATION Children are the main victims of the Bush and Blair wars. Almost half of those killed so far in Lebanon 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. (SEE [tinyurl.com])
Bring children's shoes to the national demonstration on Saturday 5 August. We will leave them at 10 Downing Street. We want a mountain of children's shoes outside Tony Blair's home to symbolise the horror at his complicity in war crimes.
And where will Tony Blair be on Saturday, when tens of thousands will march past his home calling for an immediate ceasefire, when the majority of people in Britain support that call, when many in Blair's party are calling for a recall of Parliament, when almost all of his ministers say Israel's onslaught must stop now? He'll be sunning himself on holiday in Barbados.
Please bring children's shoes on Saturday to leave on Tony Blair's doorstep. Bring them in memory of the hundreds killed in Lebanon. Bring them in memory of the hundreds killed in Palestine. Bring them in memory of the tens of thousands killed in Bush and Blair's illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But bring them most of all in the knowledge that if we raise our voices loud enough and if we mobilise overwhelming support for the cause of peace, we can stop Tony Blair's serial warmongering and help prevent any more deaths of children caused by his slavish support for George Bush.
