According to UNHCR (for example http://www.unhcr.org/news/NEWS/468e56124.html) Syria has around 1.5 million Iraqi refugees. To do as much, the UK would have to take 5 million refugees. With free schooling and hospital care. While the US, to do as much, would have to take the entire population of Iraq.

Perhaps people can send the following to their MP's, MEP's The House of Lords, Attorney Generals Office, ETc.,

Dear Members of Parliment

I am horrified and outraged at what the Israelis are doing to innocent people in Gaza. These actions are blatant war crimes and mass murder, they are targeting and attacking civilian buildings they know contain innocent families.

Europe did nothing when Israel slaughtered close to two thousand innocent people, wounding & maiming close to 10,000 in Lebanon, dropping 1.2 Million Cluster Bombs in residential areas. These were undeniable war crimes.

In the past few days, the Israelis have targeted a UN School killing 40 innocent people, and a Shelter where the Israelis had told people to go to, killing another 30 innocent people. The Children were forced to sit in the same room as their dead parents and relatives. I have seen TV Footage of Israelis firing dozens of phospherous shells at civilian targets, this is not a surgical strike it is shooting fish in a barrel; only they are using human targets. Even after the UN calls for a ceasefire the Israelis continue the killing spree with impunity; during the agreed 3 hour cease fire, I watched Israeli Helicopter Gun-ships Machine Gunning and firing rockets at people on the ground, live on TV. This is mass murder and war crimes.

The Israelis are even targeting UN Trucks delivering aid.

It is clear the only way the Israelis will stop using civilians as Live Target Practice, and stealing land is for All Decent Countries in Europe to Issue arrest warrants for;

1. Ehud Olmert & Accomplices in the Israeli Government and Military Commanders; for pre-meditated mass murder of Babies, Children, Boys, Girls, Mums, Dads, Grandparents; For war crimes; For ethnic cleansing; For Specifically targeting Civilian Buildings, knowing they will very likely Kill innocent people. For imposing an Illegal blockade of an Innocent Civilian Population, depriving them of food, clean water, fuel, electricity, medical supplies; denying them the right to live a normal life.

2. IDF Pilots for Dropping High Explosive Bombs and Firing Missiles at Innocent men, women & Children, pre-meditated mass murder & war crimes

3. IDF Tank Crews for firing high explosive artillery rounds at Innocent men, women & Children, pre-meditated mass murder & war crimes

4. IDF Artillery Crews for firing high explosive artillery rounds at Innocent men, women & Children, pre-meditated mass murder & war crimes

5. IDF Navy Commanders and Gun Crews for firing high explosive artillery rounds at Innocent men, women & Children, pre-meditated mass murder & war crimes

6. IDF Mortar Crews for Firing Explosive Mortar Bombs at Innocent men, women & Children, pre-meditated murder & war crimes

I ask that you do what you can to ensure arrest warrants are issued, as detailed above.

Thank You in Anticipation.
Yours Sincerely
