Please sign this petition to show your support the immediate end to the collective punishment and killing of the residents of Gaza as a result of Israel’s ongoing siege and In discernment bombardment.
Since Saturday, the bombings by the Israeli military have murdered more than 660 people and injured 3000 more. Show your support--- end the massacres, end the genocide, and expose the true Shimon Peres!
For the attention of The Nobel Foundation
We strongly demand The Nobel Foundation to consider the removal and stripping of 1994 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Shimon Peres, the current Israeli head of state.
As a peace loving people of world, who oppose the GAZA Genocide and consider your Foundation the beacon of peace, demand a reconsideration of this award.
It is astonishing that an individual who is in breach of international law, indeed a war criminal, should be given this award, especially in so-called “recognition of the efforts of Mr. Peres to find a peaceful solution to conflicts in the Middle East” which is clearly not the case, as can be gleaned from the following:
• Supported and urged Israeli killing machine (IDF) to Massacre of Palestinian civilians in GAZA during the latest ongoing war on the people of Gaza (Reference news reports Jan, 6, 2009. Israeli army shelling, UN School killing 45 women, children and men )
•On 18 April 1996, he launched "Operation Grapes of Wrath" causing 400,000 Lebanese to flee their homes, almost 800 fleeing to a UN base in Qana, South Lebanon.
•The Israeli army shelled the UN shelter in Qana, killing 102 civilians, mainly women, children and the elderly. Many more were injured.
• Peres is responsible for building illegal colonies on occupied land and endorsing a policy of extra-judicial killings of Palestinians and other Arabs.
•He supported the siege on Gaza, the destruction of its airport, and the elaborate system of checkpoints all across the West Bank.
• He defends the regular demolition of Palestinian homes, and he justified the atrocities of the Israeli army in its recent war on Lebanon in 2006.
We the undersigned call on The Noble Foundation to revoke this honorary award with immediate effect.
