No To Cluster Bombs!
In Lebanon, there will be a national demonstration this coming Saturday whose logo is no to cluster bombs. There are 1.2 million cluster bombs laying around between the villages in S. Lebanon. Since August 14, more than 181 cases (according to The Daily Star) have been wounded or killed. 90% of the Cluster bombs have been shot by the Israeli army during the last 3 days of the war.
This is the link about the demonstration and this is the link to the online petition against the use of Cluster bombs. The US congress and UK have refuted to place Cluster Bombs into the banned category of weaponry. Meanwhile, Samidoun have been releasing reports on what is needed due to the post-war aftermath. I hope more people would sign the No Cluster Bombs online petition.

One more signature. They ask for first name. Evidently any will do. A last name is also required. "AtFurtherLeftForum" worked fine. They also require an email address. That may be for signature verification. You can use 
if you don't want to use your own and I will click any verification request that comes.
Being able to establish killing fields far into the future in areas of civilian populations by remote control is absolutely genocide as surely as US atom bombs in Japan. How can Israel ever expect world sympathy for their traditionally persecuted image with acts as arrogantly brazen as this, or do they think the US will protect them no matter what they do?
Israel got the sympathy since 1943, ever since Hitler's massacres became known to the world they got the sympathy. (Actually back in 1998, Israel was demanding a certain percentage of profit coming from the Pyramids which made Moubarak then yell at the Israelis.
O well... now the logo is fighting terrorism while Israel is being "surrounded by Arab Muslim cannibals" , which is plain stupid but that is how several segmends of CNNists see it.
