University Professors Call for European Boycott of Links with Israel
Press Release - dateline Saturday 6th April
University Professors call for European boycott of research and cultural
links with Israel
As of noon on Friday, more than 120 university academics and
researchers from across Europe had signed during the course of three
days, an open letter, presented for publication in The Guardian, calling
for a moratorium on all future cultural and research links with Israel at
European or national level until such time as the Israeli government
abide by UN resolutions and open serious peace negotiations with the
Palestinians along the lines of the recent Saudi peace plan.
The signatories include more than 90 from the UK, amongst
them 43 university professors including some of the country's leading
natural and social scientists. The list includes one signatory from
within Israel itself. Other signatories are from Eire, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and
Switzerland.
For further information contact either:
Professor Hilary Rose (h.rose@open.ac.uk)
or Professor Steven Rose (s.p.r.rose@open.ac.uk)
telephone 0207 713 1709
The full text of the letter and list of signatories follows:
Letter: Despite widespread international condemnation for its policy of
violent repression against the Palestinian people in the Occupied
Territories, the Israeli government appears impervious to moral appeals
from world leaders. The major potential source of effective criticism,
the
United States, seemsreluctant to act. However there are ways of exerting
pressure from
within Europe. Odd though it may appear, many national and European
cultural and research institutions, including especially those
funded from the EU and the European Science Foundation, regard Israel
as a European state
for the purposes of awarding grants and contracts. (No other Middle
Eastern
state is so regarded). Would it not therefore be timely if at both
national
and European level a moratorium was called upon any further such
support unless and until Israel abide by UN resolutions and open serious
peace
negotiations with the Palestinians, along the lines proposed in many
peace
plans including most recently that sponsored by the Saudis and the
Arab League.

We must organize against the seige of Palestinian people by the
Israeli army. Our silence implicates us in the genocide.

Subject: press release from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem
So, as I sit watching this, it occurs to me:
how terrified of the christian right wing in the US should I be right now?
How worked up over destruction and death on the birthplace of their God are
they likely to get?
Didn't the crusades start when there was the deadly combination of surplus
military capacity and an unsafe Holy Land?
How organised, powerful, and angry are christians in the US, and on a global
basis?
What would be the consequences of such activity on the birthplace of, say,
Allah?
(I know this blasphemous and impossible as far as Islam goes but I'm
attempting to make a comparison).

Press release from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem
Saturday, April 6, 2002
Dear brothers and sisters,
It is very sad that for the first time and because of war you won't be able
tomorrow to reach the Basilica of the Nativity for the Sunday mass and
prayers. I would have dearly wanted to be with you and to pray with you but it
is forbidden until this very moment to get there. Nonetheless we call upon all
of you our faithful to pray for tomorrow for the cause of peace; for an end to
this war; and for the politicians to understand that the only way for a
durable peace in this region is only and uniquely justice.
As for what is taking place in the Basilica of the Nativity itself, we are
deploying every effort in order to put an end to this deadlock. False news and
rumors were propagated to the effect that the Franciscan brothers are being
held hostages inside their convent by the Palestinians. An official
communiquee by the Custody of the Holy Land declared that this is not true. We
also declare that this is false, and we strongly condemn this false news that
only add insult to injury. We also strongly condemn the siege of the Basilica
and the psychological war waged by the Israeli soldiers around it.
From Bethlehem our heart goes to all of the other cities and locations which
had been invaded and are now under siege. We call upon all of you faithful,
Christians and Muslims alike, to keep faith and courage. We are with you and
peace-loving people all over the world are with you. The Holy Father John Paul
II himself, the Churches of the world and many politicians are working toward
putting an end to this ordeal. May the peace of the Lord be with you all.
Tomorrow, the Annunciation feast, we will pray for you and with you in
Nazareth. May God bless you, give you courage and keep you safe.
+ Michel Sabbah, Patriarch

I am confident there are many on this list aware that there are
JEWS with consciences. Yours appears troubled. Why don't you
let go of your jewishness for once, instead of clinging to
it even now, in the face of breaking news from the Israeli
occupation?
This is a communication channel, where stating that you
shall refrain from further comment surely breaks the
most basic rules of communication. You must remain
open to further communication. Or must you have your
seven days of silence first?

thanks for the lecture on what rules i've broken and what i need to let go
of. you have no idea what my position is on the occupation--or on my
ethno-religious affiliation/identity.
that you felt necessary to add that blurb shows you have difficulty
differentiating JEWS from the IDF. this reductivism is unhelpful, perhaps
worse.
As I am sure you are aware, there are many jews, including israelis,
protesting the occupation.

Subject: Re: Kligerman
folks,
i just want to say i support the listadmins that they do not censor such
material - one person's terrorism is the other person's liberation
struggle; as an individual you can take sides, but a list like this has to
be an open channel. if you need a more sanitary ideological environment,
good luck with your quest.
