Rationales
August is an important month. Sixty one years ago, our country, Indonesia, declared its independence. As described in our Preamble of 1945 Basic Constitution, we believe that every nation has rights to freedom. Israeli aggression against Palestine and Lebanon is an infringement to human rights. The indiscriminate Israeli military aggression is a gross violation of international laws, including humanitarian law that clearly prohibits the targeting of civilian populations (non-combatants). Dozens of children were killed in the Israeli raid in Lebanon and Palestine. The civilian population is bearing the brunt of the Israeli military operations. There is no other word, Israel is the root of the problems in the Middle East.
We believe that every problem has solution, but not by killing children and civilian population. This is a moral action to show to the world that we, Indonesian Bloggers, condemn Israeli atrocities and their brutal aggression should be stopped immediately.
