Montreal Plan of Action (17 to 22 July 2006)
Montreal-based organisations and individuals have come together to coordinate our responses to calls for solidarity from our brothers and sisters in Lebanon and Gaza, currently living under a vicious military offensive by Israel which has killed hundreds and destroyed civilian infrastructure, with devastating consequences.
Different left groups in Lebanon have issued the following statement. There is also an e-mail address to inform of international protests against the Israeli aggression: lebanon.solidarity@gmail.com.

Appeal from the left:
Call for Action Against Israel’s War on the Palestine and Lebanon
The Israeli war machine continues with its war for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Lebanon. Attacks against civilian targets are continuing, resulting in scores of dead and wounded in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, with the vocal and tacit support of the international community. For the past three days, attacks on Lebanon resulted in the destruction of major civilian roads cutting-off whole areas and hindering relief efforts.
The Lebanese community in Montreal calls upon its members and supporters to join a peaceful demonstration to be held on Tuesday, 18 July at 5pm, at Dorchester Square, facing the sunlife building on 1155 Metcalfe, to denounce the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and its people.

URGENT CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION
Sunday 16 July, 11am, gathering at Peel and René-Lévèsque, Montréal
In the past 96 hours, the Israeli assault has killed 97 civilians in Lebanon, tens of whom were children. There have been 266 injuries.
Due to the latest escalation and attacks that Israel has been waging against Lebanese civilians, targeting people in their homes and damaging the vital infrastructure that supports their daily lives (roads, institutions, bridges, and airports), you are asked to join in the demonstration to protest the Israeli atrocities and crimes that are being committed against unarmed innocent civilians.
