Re: Re: Minutes of our chat today, and statement against violence

Good afternoon, dear All

I have 3 remarks
-2 in 2§
-1 in 3§


One of the key aims of the ISF (Iraqi Social Forum) is to build peace

I think we need at least to define what kind of peace the Iraki people
expect...That the reason I propose to add "Peace and justice"and overcome
all forms of violence in Iraq. The very fact that the ISF is still
scheduled to take place in the face of the current wave of bombings is in
itself not only a challenge, but a way of defying this violence and proving
that peace and security  in an another Iraq are possible.


As International Solidarity Committee, we strongly condemn all the current
acts of violence, as we condemned everywhere in the world the imperial war
imposed to the civilians who use to pay an high price , and particularly
those heinous acts that have targeted children and youth practicing sport
and other peaceful activities.

Thank you for your attention

in solidarity
