Massacre in Gaza - 17 days, over 900 dead, over 4000 injured - ACT NOW

"In Gaza, the very foundation of society is being destroyed: people's
homes, civic infrastructure, public health facilities and schools."

Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary-General

It is day 17 of 'Operation Cast Lead', Israel's military operation in
Gaza with the stated objective of ending the firing of 'Qassam' missles
by armed groups in the Gaza strip (including Hamas' military wing) into
southern Israel, which has so far not been achieved and which have
claimed the lives of three Israeli civilians since the operation in Gaza
