Peace activist, ret. FBI agent, Coleen Rowley sign petition to stop slaughter of children of Gaza

huffington post article by Coleen.

Peace activist and ret. FBI agent, Coleen Rowley:

"As I wrote on Facebook and again on this petition, I just don't see what good can be gained in the horrific slaughtering of so many children! (These charts published in The Telegraph were outdated the minute they were created as the body count just continues to climb.)
Israel Government has several arguments of course to try and justify the slaughter -- some more absurd and grotesque than others -- but with nearly half of those trapped in Gaza under the age of 18, it's simply impossible to bomb in the densely populated space and not kill a high proportion of women, children and other civilians. So not only is this bombing unethical and illegal, it is strategically counterproductive for Israel."

Please call on your own Senators to rethink their stances and then to tell Israel to end its siege!

please read and sign this petition:
