[Imc-communication] word from Lebanon / slaughter of the innocents continues

[Asher]

Hi all,

Just wanted to agree with Petros' sentiments here - I think it's vital that
we keep people informed via Global features, with the local IMC's inactive.
I wrote the Gaza feature on July 6 (
http://www.indymedia.org/en/2006/07/842035.shtml) and am happy to keep
writing more as well, as the situation progresses. Is there someone on this
list from IMC-Israel? If anyone there wanted to step up and help get the
info out, that would be fantastic too.

Love & Rage
