Subject: Ramallah: another urgent appeal




Excerpted from a letter from Tzaporah Ryter, US student from the
University of Minnesota, presently in Ramallah:

"There are more explosions outside now and more shooting. Another
explosion. More firing, it just doesnŐt stop.

"This is a massacre. The foreign delegations tried to get in but were
turned back, the International Committee of the Red Cross is trying to
help but they are being ignored. Please help.

"I am not only scared for myself and for people here, but if this cannot
be stopped, I am truly scared for all of humanity, for a world in which we
send men to the moon but cannot stop ethnic cleansing.

"On the news in America, we see hardly anything of demonstrations. What
are you doing over there?"
