To: Arab League
Insofar as
internationally, we Arabs have allowed many organs to represent
us, we Arabs and friends of Arab peoples, address you as our
representatives. I trust that you hold our interests and our
wellbeing in the highest regard, and that is why we take this
opportunity to call upon you to act as our true representatives to
the world, and insist that all Heads of State in the Arab League,
and that all representatives of the International Community that
have economic, social and political ties with any of our nations,
demand an immediate stop of Israel's belligerent aggression
against our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Lebanon.
It is impellent that you take immediate action, to validate the
trust that citizens have placed in you, as well as for pragmatic
reasons of your own survival as a body that can claim to represent
people of Arab nations.
There are many ways to diplomatically impose a halt of Israel's
violence. There are many peaceful actions that can impose upon it
a determined change in policy. All of these tools are able to be
implemented in full compliance with international law, and as in
the situation of South Africa, have been proven to be effective
and furthermore, have gained widespread international support both
within the masses and at the level of governments of civilised
nations.
In choosing to not take advantage of any of these instruments, you
have allowed the onus of the defence of our people to fall on the
Hamas and the Hezbollah. Whether or not this has been your
intention, the fact remains that you are an internationally
recognised representative of the States and therefore of the
citizens and residents of the Arab nations, and you are
theoretically ultimately responsible for the coordination of their
political approaches to situations of international crisis that
involve them, especially where the lives of our people are being
sacrificed. If you have chosen to abandon the Arab people at this
time, it is clear that you serve no purpose whatsoever, and in
that case, it would be wise to withdraw from the international
scene and disassemble yourselves.
We implore you to act now, or forever disband. Israel must not be
allowed to commit any more War Crimes against Arabs, or the UN for
that matter. Violence against Arabs must cease and desist. It is
your responsibility.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
