We have — at minimum — two [unrelated] people among our commenters who were involved in the resolution of the Irish struggles who are engaged with trying to bring the current situation in Gaza to the attention of the world.
After a certain number of decades/centuries of enmity both sides must agree to pull back and say, no more orphans.
No more children with arms and legs blown off.
No more people dying from stupid reasons like lack of medical supplies.
No more bombing hospitals and universities.
No more taking 18 year olds and throwing them into the furnace of war. It is wrong. It is immoral. The mothers of the world will tolerate it no longer.

I’m a mother, and I approve this message.
Thank you Laura. I too am a mother, and they will not take my young children for the furnace of war. Let us stand together.
Indeed.
Digg please
I’m with you egregious. We do not bring children into this world to be used as pawns for war. NO.
This is what your tax dollars given to Israel supports. Warning… pictures of dead children.

Does a plea count as a kind of manifesto? If so, I’m in, I guess, as of a couple of days ago. Besides, your wording is more grand sounding.
But I still insist on blaming bush/cheney mightily for legitimizing war and carnage as simply a part of the usual order of events. They have dragged the USA reputation into a bottomless mud pit of endless, victimless, officially sanctioned blood-letting. They should never walk the face of this earth without that charge hanging over their heads.
Under those conditions, I’ll add my name to your “manifesto”.
I also would add innocent grandmas and grandpas, teenagers, and young adults to a significant branch of your manifesto tree. Why the obsession only with babies…
