German party: Israeli acts are barbarism in Lebanon and Gaza
Lebanon-Israel-Germany, Politics, 7/20/2006

Germany's opposition Left Party (Linke) strongly criticized Israel's military onslaught in Lebanon and Gaza, branding it an "act of barbarism," DPA quoted the parliamentary general manager of the Left Party, Ulrich Maurer as saying yesterday.

The leftist party official said the civilian population was suffering from Israel's indiscriminate bombings of food supply facilities and escape routes.

Maurer labeled Israel's military attacks in Lebanon and Gaza as disproportionate.

He also urged the German government to put more pressure on Israel in the Near East conflict.

Maurer accused Berlin of "ducking itself away" from the conflict.

The lawmaker called on German government to call for an immediate and unconditional truce.

The Left Party earlier in the week lashed out at Berlin's continued inaction on halting Israel's ongoing bombing of civilian targets in Lebanon.

Israel has faced worldwide condemnation and outrage over its brutal military strikes in Gaza and Lebanon.
