Let’s take some actions tonight:

1. Write to them:

The upcoming attack on Iran is (mis)calculated by the same war mongers (perhaps we should start calling it Zionist/military/industrial complex who hijacked the US government and both major parties in the US). They do not know what they will be unleashing but think foolishly that it would save Israeli colonial ventures and their ventures to pillage the natural resources of other countries. For this to succeed, they think military might and the collusion of the mainstream media are sufficient. For example, while most media outlets vilified the Holy Land Foundation, there has been almost no coverage of the trial and the fabricated evidence presented (rare story in LA Times: Evidence against Muslim charity appears fabricated). They again underestimate people (although obviously far more people need to wake up and realize what is going on; silence is complicity). Thus they created and perpetuated the myth of Muslim support for terror and in so doing began to awaken the Muslim masses.

It is not a coincidence then that Arab are cracking down on democratic opposition. It is also not a coincidence that Israel is putting the largest remaining Palestinian city (Nablus) under curfew and engaging in pogroms outside of any media scrutiny. But we also see Russia saying it is time to lift the siege on the Palestinian people and support the Palestinian Unity Government. But the European Union which has traditionally succumbed to US policy is equivocating (but France urges world to back Palestinian accord).

ACTION: If you live in the EU, then write to them - http://www.writetothem.com/ [Hat tip: Mazin Qumsiyeh] and tell them that Palestinian Unity Government is a democratic elected one and that Palestinians deserve to live in peace (as well as Jews in Palestine). Urge them to left the embargo on Palestinian Authority and support peace.

2. Join “One Million Blogs for Peace”:

The Concept

Between 20 March 2007 and 20 March 2008 (the fifth year of the war), there is an attempt to sign up One Million Blogs for Peace.

Bloggers may take The Pledge and sign up before the launch date of 30 March 2007 and will be declared an “Inblogural” (Inaugural Blog) of the movement.

The Pledge

I believe in the immediate withdrawal of all foreign combat troops from the nation of Iraq. I believe in using my blog, in whole or in part, as a tool toward this end.

Who’s Eligible

For the official count (toward 1,000,000), a blog must be based in the home country of a nation currently engaged in the Iraq War. As of now, those nations are: Albania, Australia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

Additional blogs from other nations may list themselves as “Support Blogs”. While not counting toward the 1,000,000 count, these blogs will be eligible to participate in some of the challenges and will be listed in their own section.
