Drafted Art

We are opposed to the war, to the Israeli army's horrible bombardment
of
Lebanon and to Hezballah's firing of rockets onto northern Israel. Our

conflict with our neighbors has lasted for more than 100 years and so
the
question of who started this round of violence is irrelevant. We
believe
that conflicts are solved through dialogue, negotiations and

compromise,
not through violence, more bombings and annihilations, more security
zones and occupations, more territories in which soldiers and civilians
alike will be killed from both sides.

As Israeli citizens we are responsible for our government's actions. It

is our duty to do all that we can to stop the war crimes committed by
our
country in our name. The Israeli army's actions in Lebanon
