AHRC calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) condemns in the strongest words the ongoing Israeli indiscriminate bombardment of Lebanon.

Under the pretext of fighting Hezbollah, Israel has been targeting civilians in heavily populated residential areas. Israelis have been threatening that they intend to demolish Lebanon.

Just like in Gaza, these are war crimes and Israel must be stopped.

AHRC warns that the continued failure of the international community, due to the Biden administration’s full support of Israel, to hold Israel accountable is enabling Israel to continue its war crimes.

It is only getting worse. Israel continues to act with impunity with complete disregard for international laws and norms. Israel continues to refuse to heed the world’s call for a ceasefire.

 

Even though we are not optimistic that our call will be answered, AHRC calls on the Biden administration to put an end to the carnage in Gaza and Lebanon. The US is fully capable of ending this carnage. There is no doubt that the American unconditional military, financial, intelligence and diplomatic support to the most extreme government in Israeli history is the reason Israel continues its war ignoring the UN, the ICC, the ICJ and world opinion. It is not too late to do the right thing.

AHRC calls upon all peace- loving people to contact their elected officials in Washington, in the Congress and the White House, and ask for the US to impose a ceasefire.

“The most extreme government in Israel’s history, for Messianic reasons, wants to set the whole region on fire,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “It is time for President Biden to do what Reagan did in 1982, impose a ceasefire,” added Hamad.
