Opposing Israeli Policy in Gaza
In January 2009 Howard Lenow signed a statement circulated by the Magnes Zionist Blog, opposing Israeli policy in Gaza:[1]
- As human beings, we are shocked and appalled at the mass destruction unleashed by the State of Israel against the people of Gaza in its military operation, following years of Israeli occupation, siege, and deprivation.
- As progressives, we reject the same justifications for the carnage that we heard ad nauseam from the supporters of the Second Iraq War: the so-called "war on terror," the "clash of civilizations," the "need to re-establish deterrence" – all of which served to justify a misguided and unnecessary war, with disastrous consequences for America and Iraq.
Labor for Palestine

Signers of the letter included Howard Lenow, Union Attorney of the Lawyers Coordinating Committee and AFL-CIO.[2]
