    Extractions: Israel's Association for Civil Rights demands end to military violence against civilians Here is a letter from Vered Levne, executive director of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, that was sent on April 7 to the Israeli Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer. ACRI is Israel's largest and leading civil rights organization, the only such organization representing the entire country and all citizens. It is particularly important, working as it does in a country with no constitution. Levne's letter was made available by Ronin Shamir, associate professor of sociology at Tel Aviv University (author of Managing Legal Uncertainty: Elite Lawyers in the New Deal Duke, 1995, and The Colonies of Law: Colonialism, Zionism, and Law in Early Mandate Palestine, Cambridge UP, 2000). In his note to colleagues in the United States, Shamir wrote: Dear Friends: Attached please find an urgent letter sent yesterday by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel to the Israeli Defense Ministry. In it, this respectable and highly reputable association indicates that Israel commits what cannot be understood but as serious war crimes against the Palestinian civil population. Please read, do what you can do, distribute, and make sure no one can say anymore "we did not know". Ronen

COHRE, an international NGO that campaigns on adequate housing and prevention of forced evictions, pointed out that in the US - the world’s richest country - 2.3 million adults and children each year experience homelessness. Housing is a right under international law. Article 11(1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes “the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living for himself and his family, including adequate ... housing ... and to the continuous improvement of living conditions.”

Copy the suggested letter formats below and send your letter by email or fax to the European Union and the United Nations. It is time for international sanctions against Israel. It is time to bring an international protection presence to Gaza and West Bank. It is time to hold accountable those persons responsible for the war crimes committed in Rafah and other Palestinian areas by bringing them before the International Court of Justice. The European Union has condemned the destruction in Rafah by the Israeli Occupation Army. The United Nations Security Council has adopted a resolution condemning the killing of Palestinian civilians in Rafah and calling on Israel to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes. Amnesty International and other international human rights agencies have recognized that Israel is guilty of war crimes and grave breaches of humanitarian law, international human rights law and the Fourth Geneva Convention. We, as Palestinians, commend the international community for their condemnation of Israel's atrocities against the people of Rafah. But we also wish to remind you that since 1948 our history has been replete with international condemnations and Security Council resolutions and yet we are still vulnerable and our path to justice is still long. The international community continues to fail us after 56 years of dispossession and violence against the Palestinian people because no punitive action against Israel has ever been taken.

    Extractions: Background Resource: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict By Yifat Susskind, Associate Director July 2002 As in Ireland, India and Cyprus, British colonial "divide and rule" tactics culminated in November 1947 in the partition of Palestine into two newly independent states one Palestinian Arab and one Jewish. UN Resolution 181 allotted Jews, who were less than one-third of the population and owned only 8% of the land, 56% of the territory of Palestine. Palestinians saw the partition plan as a grave injustice, especially since most Jews in Palestine were recent arrivals. Fighting broke out between Jewish forces and local Palestinian militias. In May 1948, the British evacuated Palestine, and Israel declared independence. Several adjacent Arab countries declared war against the new state. During the war, Israeli forces destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages and captured 78% of historic Palestine.

The defoliant, sprayed from low-flying aircraft, is toxic even in minute quantities. About 50 million liters (13 million gallons) of Agent Orangecontaining about 170 kg (375 pounds) of dioxinwere dropped on Vietnam. Among the Vietnamese, exposure to Agent Orange is considered to be the cause of an abnormally high incidence of miscarriages, skin diseases, cancers, birth defects, and congenital malformations (often extreme and grotesque) from the 1970s to the '90s. Many U.S., Australian, and New Zealand servicemen who suffered long exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam later developed a number of cancers and other health disorders. -"agent orange"

    Extractions: a Right to Return to Israel? by Ruth Lapidoth In the media and in interviews with Palestinian leaders, we often hear and read statements asserting that the Palestinian Refugees have a right to return to Israel. As will be shown, these statements are based on an erroneous reading of the relevant texts. We will discuss the subject from three points of view: general international law, the most relevant UN resolutions, and various agreements between Israel and her neighbors. 1. General International Law Several international human rights treaties deal with the freedom of movement, including the right of return. The most universal provision is included in the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which says: "No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of the right to enter his own country." The question arises, who has the right of return, or: what kind of relationship must exist between the State and the person who wishes to return? A comparison of the various texts and a look at the discussions which took place before the adoption of these texts lead to the conclusion that the right of return is probably reserved for nationals of the State. Even the right of nationals is not an absolute one, but it may be limited on condition that the reasons for the denial or limitation are not arbitrary.

    Extractions: For Immediate Release A Call Issued by Palestinian Civil Society Organizations, August 2002 In September 2001, one year after all international efforts at halting Israel’s violent military repression of the second Palestinian uprising in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip had failed, some 3,000 civil society organizations from around the world met at the third World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa and approved their NGO Declaration and Program of Action. These NGO documents address racism and racial discrimination related to the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including military occupation and the denial of the right of return of Palestinian refugees and internally displaced persons to their homes and properties. Already in Durban, representatives of 3000 civil society organizations from around the world were united in their call for global boycott and sanctions against Israel. Among others, the NGO Program of Action:

Grassroots activists from all walks of life joined with influential intellectuals and organizations from across the glob to echo the very same demand.

    Extractions: Israeli-Palestinian-International Civil Society Partnership A meeting organized at the Foreign and Commonwealth office, March 22-24 2002 Main Conclusions A Civil Society Partnership The participants (hereafter known as the London group) want to contribute to building an Israel-Palestine civil society movement or partnership. This movement will include the different communities in the region and abroad: Palestinians in Israel, Palestine and elsewhere; Jewish communities in different parts of the world; and people of all sorts who want to be part of the movement. The goal of the movement is to end the violence and to build trust among individuals and communities in the region. Even if a peace agreement is reached by the politicians, it cannot be implemented if there is no trust. And if civil society succeeds in beginning to build trust, then politicians will be forced to reach an agreement. The movement is based on equality and mutual solidarity. In the past, Israeli and international peace movements have tended to be one-sided; movements, which expressed solidarity with Palestinians. Today, Israelis need Palestinian help in ending the suicide bombers; just as Palestinians need Israeli help in ending the occupation. International civil society needs the help of both Israelis and Palestinians in ending terrorism and the war on terrorism.
