Date: August 5th 2006

As many of you know, I've been spending the last 5 weeks working
first on the Israeli invasion of Gaza and, as of July 12th, the Israeli
attack and invasion of Lebanon. Below, you will find some of the key
articles and resources we've published relating to the Lebanon crisis.

By this stage, close to 1,000 Lebanese have died, almost all of which
are civilians. Every bridge in the country has been bombed. All the
airports have been bombed. A massive oil spill following Israel's
targeting of fuel tanks on the coast has reached Syria. Cellphone
towers, hospitals, ambulances, power stations, UN observers, all
targeted. Entire villages in the south of the country have been
leafleted by Israel, warning them to flee, then the convoys of fleeing
people have been attacked. Whole families have been wiped out.

All of this has taken place in front of an approving or silent world. As
I wrote in a recent letter to British PM, an Arab friend of mine recently
commented, "Now I understand how the Holocaust could have happened".

Then there is Gaza, that has seen a similar destruction of its infrastructure.
These are dark days and this conflict, particularly given the international
approval given to Israel, guarantees global insecurity for decades.

Below are some Lebanon resources worth forwarding. The first video,
in particular, is truly a "must see". There is no graphic content, merely
people talking, but you'll understand why it's a must see pretty quickly.

Please let people see them.
