As the threat of aggression against Iraq grows, we, members of one-million-
strong Russian Community in Israel/Palestine, call upon you to stop the
imminent bloodshed and save millions of innocent men and women from violent
death. The US administration tries to save its collapsing economy by
demonisation of the enemy, by war for the new markets and by re-division of
the spheres of influence.

The Israeli Zionist military Junta of General Sharon uses the US-led drive
for the Third World War in its own purposes, for the systematic
extermination of the people of Palestine. While speaking of 'war against
terrorism', Israeli Junta tries to obscure its own policies of State
Terrorism it carries out towards the native Palestinians, and other
inhabitants of the Holy Land.

We are worried that if and when the US-led military campaign against Iraq
will commence, Israeli military will implement even more horrid steps to
exterminate the Palestinians while the world's attention will be drawn to
Mesopotamia.

The Zionist Lobby in Russia and elsewhere tries to hide an important fact.
There are thousands and thousands of Russian soldiers in Israel, who are not
considered 'Jews'. They are being drafted to the special fighting units
carrying out extermination of Palestinians in the occupied territories by
promises to give them and their relatives the benefits of full Israeli
citizenship.

The Jewish Agency induces Russian teenagers 14-16 years old by means fair or
foul to Israel, where they undergo intensive indoctrination treatment in
closed 'boarding schools' for two or three years. Brainwashed children are
sent to kill civilians and starve villages, as they are unable to comprehend
that they are forced to commit military crimes.

The worst Israeli provocation is that many of the soldiers have dual Russian
and Israeli citizenship, or often only Russian citizenship, and after the
army service they are being sent back to Russia. Thus Israelis prepare for
the day when they will announce that the crimes against humanity were
committed by the Russians and other FSU citizens.

We call you to take strict measures including use of the right of veto in
the Security Council to avoid the mass genocide unavoidable in case of the
US attack on Iraq. We are equally worried for the fate of our neighbours,
people of Palestine, who are being exterminated in the shadow of the
American-Iraqi conflict by the US strategic ally, Israel.

We, members of one-million-strong Russian Community in Israel/Palestine,
reject the racist concept of 'the Jewish state', and express our friendship
to the native Palestinian people, and our wish to live with them as equals
in brotherly love and harmony.
