Last Veil Removed: Invasion Of Jenin By Sharon's War Government

After the whole world condemned the attack on the Palestinian institutions in
Jerusalem, followed the sneaky, nightly invasion of Jenin. Gush Shalom calls on
Shimon Peres and the other Labor Party members to immediately leave Sharon's
war government. Anybody who stays in this government now will be responsible
for the further escalation and disaster which it brings over the two peoples -
and may eventually have to account for it at the international court in The
Hague.

Not only does the invasion of Jenin not prevent terrorism, it gives an enormous
boost to those forces among the Palestinians who do the attacks in Israeli
cities. From this invasion will be born dozens of new suicide bombers and when
Sharon gave the order he knew it very well. This government is a government of
war, this government was not willing to implement any plan, not the Mitchell
plan, not the Tenet plan, what it really wants is to turn the clock back never
to end the occupation.

Gush Shalom and the Coalition of Women for Peace - supported by other peace
groups - will demonstrate, as planned, 6.00 PM at the site of the Orient House.
This demonstration is going to be the expression of the peace moment at this
very crucial hour.
