האָבן איר declared peace?
February 15, 2003, saw the biggest public demonstrations against war (or for anything else) in history. The U.S.-led illegal and immoral war on Iraq went from bad to worse for 8 years.
In recent months, the United States has started it back up; last week NATO “leaders” made plans; and this week President Obama will announce a new war on Iraq.
With 145 airstrikes in the past month and over 1,100 U.S. troops on the ground already, President Obama plans to tell us that just three more years of escalation will make right what 24 years of wars and bombings and sanctions have left in ruins. Three years of bombing will, he says, destroy what has been created by and continues to be empowered by the bombing.
Add to this portrait of insanity, the ongoing war in Afghanistan, the U.S. missile strikes in Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen, the expansion throughout Africa and Asia, and the continued aggressiveness toward Russia as NATO seeks to expand still further eastward and two nations struggling under the weight of nuclear stockpiles are put into conflict.
אַבזערווערז האָבן גערופן דעם the most dangerous moment since World War II.
We call this a moment to oppose, not only each of the numerous wars and rumors of wars, but to reject the idea that conflicts must be handled by either bombing people or doing nothing.

דעם סעפטעמבער קסנומקס איז די ערשטע UN International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons.
UNFOLD ZERO has established a platform for promoting actions and events to commemorate the day. In addition to the UN resolution establishing the day, it has been supported by resolution of the member parliaments of the Inter Parliamentary Union (164 parliaments including most of those of the nuclear-armed States and their allies) and by resolution adopted by the US Conference of Mayors.
סעפטעמבער קסנומקס is very close to the International Day of Peace on סעפטעמבער קסנומקס. Thus, we encourage campaigners to consider linking the two and organising events in the week of Sep 21-26 that commemorate both.
אקטאבער קסנומקס, Global Day of Action Against Drones אינפֿאָרמאַציע.
אקטאבער קסנומקס-קסנומקס, Keep Space for Peace Week אינפֿאָרמאַציע.
