These Israeli attacks\r\n                      come on top of a brutal siege of the Gaza Strip, which has\r\n                      created a humanitarian catastrophe of dire proportions for\r\n                      Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinian residents by restricting\r\n                      the provision of food, fuel, medicine, electricity, and\r\n                      other necessities of life.<br>\r\n                      <br>\r\n                      While the scope of civilian casualties in today's attacks\r\n                      is not yet clear, it is unmistakable that Israel carried\r\n                      out these attacks with F16 fighter jets and missiles\r\n                      provided by the taxpayers of this country. From 2001-2006,\r\n                      the United States transferred to Israel more than $200\r\n                      million worth of spare parts to fly its fleet of F16's. In\r\n                      July 2008, the United States gave Israel 186 million\r\n                      gallons of JP-8 aviation jet fuel. Last year, the United\r\n                      States signed a $1.3 billion contract with Raytheon to\r\n                      transfer to Israel thousands of TOW, Hellfire, and\r\n                      \"bunker buster\" missiles.<br>\r\n                      In short, Israel's lethal attack today on the Gaza Strip\r\n                      could not have happened without the active military and\r\n                      political support of the United States. Therefore, we need\r\n                      to take action to protest this attack and demand an\r\n                      immediate cease-fire.\r\n                      <table cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" width=\"734\" border=\"5\">\r\n                        \r\n                          <tr>\r\n                            <td>\r\n                              STOP THE ASSAULT ON GAZA!<br>\r\n                              URGENT ACTION SUGGESTIONS from the U.S. Campaign\r\n                              to End the Israeli Occupation<br>\r\n                              <br>\r\n                              1.&nbsp;Take\r\n                              to the streets and make your opposition public.<br>\r\n                              \r\n                              We must keep up the protests until there is a\r\n                              cease-fire and a lifting of the siege of Gaza.&nbsp;We're\r\n                              calling on everyone to continue to organize\r\n                              protests in your community.
