Do the Iraqi people know, that 70% of Americans want the USA to get out of Iraq?
Do they know, this is not what the Americans want?
Do they know that this is Bush's war?
That we were lied to?
A small group of businessmen decided to deceive a nation, eager for revenge?
They lied to us, and our leaders.
I am just one person, but I need to know.

Editor:
From what I read in the Iraqi and other Arabic media, the answer is "YES" to all of your questions. They expect more activism among Americans to pressure their government to end its wars in Iraq and around the world.

The following excerpts of a letter from CAABU Director, Chris Doyle, was published in the Jewish Chronicle in 5 October 2007 edition.
Complaint: article incites collective punishment
Letter published in the Jewish Chronicle
"We would like to express our outrage at Geoffrey Alderman's article (Turn off Gaza's water and fuel, Sept 28). It is a disgrace, essentially a call for collective punishment by depriving an entire civilian population of water.
Water is essential to life, needed by every one of the 1.5 million men, women and children in Gaza. Gaza's water resources have been massively depleted and polluted to the point of crisis, not least by actions by the Israeli military, damning water streams that should flow into the strip and drilling wells on the east of Gaza which deplete the western-flowing water aquifer from which Gazans are entitled to benefit in part. The point is that there is a clear dependency on water coming via Israel.
The firing of Kassams at innocent Israeli civilians (no Israelis died as a result) does not justify by any measure of civilized values a call effectively to destroy Gaza. Nothing does. Such incitement should not find space in any respectable newspaper."

Andrew Slaughter MP (Labour member for Ealing, Acton & Shepherd's Bush) will report on his recent visit in May to the Palestinian Territories and Israel as part of a cross-party delegation organised by CAABU and then introduce a platform of speakers to debate whether a 2-state solution is still achievable and if so what we in Britain should be doing to help bring it about.
Other speakers invited:
Husam Zomlot - Political Counsellor, Palestinian General Delegation to the UK
Laura Hutchings - Director, Conservative Middle East Council
Bassam Mahfouz - prospective Labour candidate for Ealing Central & Acton
Andrew Dakers - prospective Lib Dem candidate for Brentford & Isleworth
Chris Doyle - Director of CAABU (Council forArab-British Understanding) who will chair the meeting.
'But the greater tragedy is that the economic and geographical isolation and segregation of the Palestinians already makes the prospect of a two-state solution unviable: a disaster for Israel as well as the Palestinians.' Andrew Slaughter on his recent visit.
