sunlit_musicHey everyone,
Urge for justice for the innocents slaughtered at Gaza. War criminals from both sides of the Gaza conflict need to be held accountable for their actions. Please send a message to Secretary Hillary Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice today at http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=2590179&template=x.ascx&action=13121&ICID=E0909A01&tr=y&auid=5373539
It only takes a few minutes. But a few minutes can make a huge difference. It can tip the balance of the scale.

Email from Amnesty International:
We need your help. The world's leaders have gathered at the United Nations for a meeting of the Human Rights Council. The Council will be presented with the findings and recommendations from the UN-mandated, fact-finding mission led by the highly-regarded judge Richard Goldstone, who investigated the human rights violations committed in Gaza and southern Israel last December and January.
The Goldstone Report1, which is consistent with the findings of Amnesty International2, concludes that both the Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups committed grave violations of international law including war crimes and, possibly, crimes against humanity.
Both Israel and Hamas have, to date, failed to carry out credible investigations and to prosecute those responsible. Innocent civilians caught up in this conflict deserve to know the truth and obtain justice. Action is needed now.
If you agree, please send a message to Secretary Hillary Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice today at http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c=jhKPIXPCIoE&b=2590179&template=x.ascx&action=13121&ICID=E0909A01&tr=y&auid=5373539
Amnesty International believes no one should be above international law. For long-term security and peace in the region, all those responsible for violations of human rights must be held accountable.
Thank you for supporting human rights.
