The editor
The JCHenry Grunwald’s "If Israel enters Gaza, Anglo-Jewry will be ready" (JC, 29 February) should not be allowed to pass without comment. It simply assumes Anglo-Jewry will support Israel, right or wrong, in anything it does in Gaza. We won’t. We deplore rocket attacks on Sderot or Ashkelon, or shootings in the Jersualem yeshiva. But they are not occurring in a vacuum. A European Jews for a Just Peace delegation visit to Sderot found residents and members at Sapir College expressing very different views from Mr Grunwald. They want a truce, not vengeance - or escalation.
In Gaza 51 civilians were killed last week by Israeli bombings, 27 children and 6 women in one day alone in Jabalya. Yet Mr Grunwald’s central concern seem about ensuring that Israel doesn’t get a bad public image as a result.
There is enormous suffering on both sides, in this asymmetric conflict, in which Israel holds almost all the cards. What is desperately needed is a ceasefire, which Hamas has offered more than once. But trapped by the mantra that one does not talk to terrorists, Israel is sacrificing more of its citizens to the misguided policies of its rulers. In a recent poll, 64 per cent of Israeli voters said they wanted to talk to Hamas to negotiate a cease fire. Surely Anglo-Jewry can accept their lead.

SHOULDERING THE BLAME:
Marie Colvin and Philip Jacobson (Gaza's deadly guardians and The battle for Gaza , Magazine, last week) paint a vivid, if depressing, picture of life there. It is a picture for which the West and Israel must share some responsibility. Both articles highlight that while there are adherents of building an Islamic state, there are also those who vocally and physically resist - the hundreds of people who flocked to the hospital to protect a popular Fatah leader attest to that. Colvin makes the crucial point that "those who have already travelled are the most angry at Hamas". Perhaps, then, isolation of a democratically elected government - however distasteful its views - is not the best solution? Perhaps,even, if Arafat and Abbas had been able to show their people that the West was serious about a viable Palestinian state, voters would not have turned to Hamas in despair and disgust?Dan Judelson

An Open Letter to David Miliband...
Organised by Jews for Justice for Palestinians
Signed by well over three hundred Jews in Britain
Published as a full-page advertisement in the Times on 28th September 2007Dear David
In your address to the UN today, we urge you to oppose Israel’s sanctions against the people of Gaza. Amnesty International, Israeli organisations and distinguished Israeli writers have all condemned this move, announced on September 19th, to extend sanctions.
As British Jews and voters, we call on the UK government to stand against this collective punishment, a direct violation of international law.
The Israeli Deputy Prime Minister described the proposal as cutting off ‘infrastructural oxygen’. In fact, the threat is to the real water and real electricity supplies to the entrapped population of Gaza. Euphemisms cannot disguise the genuine danger to health and lives.
Indiscriminate punishment of Palestinian civilians does not protect the people of Sderot but rather, as the Israeli Peace Bloc Gush Shalom says, it unites all Palestinians ‘in bitterness and hatred’ against Israelis ‘who will bear the price eventually’. As you said in your speech to the Labour Party Conference, there may be military victories, but there is no military solution.
The UK Foreign Affairs Select Committee (August 2007) has called the decision not to speak to Hamas ‘counterproductive’. This week a petition from Israeli writers including David Grossman, Amos Oz and A.B. Yehoshua says: ‘In the past Israel has negotiated with its worst enemies, and now the correct course of action is to negotiate with Hamas... to prevent further suffering on both sides.’ (Jerusalem Post 23.9.2007)
We urge you to heed these words.

7. Letter to the Times, 8th September 2007
A pitch for Palestine
Sir, Today at Wembley, 22 Israeli and English footballers, proud to represent their countries, will engage in a sporting contest when they play their crucial qualifier for Euro 2008.
In dramatic contrast, Her Majesty's Government has denied the Palestinian Under-19 squad, equally proud, the chance to travel here to play a number of matches with British clubs. The decision to deny the team their visas is bizarre, taken with no formal reason being given.
Where the UK should have facilitated a morale-boosting tour it has instead proffered double standards. While the Government condemns boycotts and sanctions against Israel, it engages in them against the Palestinians.
It is not too late to rectify the situation; the tour can go ahead more or less as planned. It requires only that the Government treats Palestinian footballers in the same way as their Israeli counterparts. We strongly urge they do so immediately.SIR TOM STOPPARD

The time to negotiate is now
Israel said it would never negotiate a prisoner exchange, but now it is. Gilad, Ehud and Eldad will be free when Marwan, Hamdi, Emad and others held for years are also free.
A ceasefire was again offered by the Palestinians. This time Israel listened and accepted.
The logic is stark: five months of military action brought Sderot less security than a single negotiation. We, Jews of the USA, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Canada, South Africa and Australia call on you to follow this path to its logical conclusion.
Lieberman's way endangers the security of Israel and Jews worldwide. Instead, we need to apply the universal values of Jewish tradition: justice, integrity, mutual respect and equal rights.
A search for peace cannot be based on force or fundamentalism but only on meaningful negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, on the basis of international law.
After the ceasefire, end the siege of Gaza. End the Occupation of East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

To all family, friends of Edward,
We are extremely sad to learn of the death of Edward Said. Aware of his invaluable work for Palestinian justice, we grieve his death as a tragic loss to the fight for justice in the world. It is as much a cause of sorrow for Jews as for Palestinians, and for the world at large. His critical voice, his learning, his compassion, will remain a source of inspiration for us.

- On 31 December 2003 in Bethlehem six members of JfJfP and European
Jews for a Just Peace planted 300 Olive Trees at Daher’s Vineyard.
The trees were donated by Jews from all over the UK - from Glasgow to Bristol,
Newcastle to Totnes – in the names of their children and grandchildren
or in memory of their parents and grandparents, including victims of the
holocaust. Six of the trees were dedicated to the memory of Ruth Cohen a
peace activist in South Africa, Israel and Britain who died in London on
Christmas Day 2003. She is remembered with great affection as co-founder
of Women in Black and the Israeli women’s peace organization, Bat
Shalom.
The vineyard has been in the possession of the Nassar family since 1924. In 1991 the Israeli government sought to declare it ‘State Land’ under a provision from the Ottoman era that enables the state to take over land untilled for ten years. The family disputed this and in 2003 the Israeli High Court judge declared that the Israeli government had provide insufficient evident to back up their seizure and postponed the final hearing. Technically the ownership of the land is still in dispute.In the year 2000 the Nassar family offered a part of their land for a campsite for the Tent of Nations project – People Building Bridges - which seeks to bring youth of various cultures together to build bridges of understanding, reconciliation, and peace.
There is a long tradition of Jews collecting money to plant trees in Israel. With so many thousands of olive trees having been uprooted by the Israeli State, Jews for Justice for Palestinians and the European Jews for a Just Peace feels that it is particularly appropriate to make this small gesture of reconciliation by planting trees in Palestine

- Letter from Irene Bruegel re Rafah in the Guardian 20 May 2004
The diehard Israeli camp now wants to twist the Geneva conventions to go beyond direct and immediate threats to allow pre-emptive action against civilians. The logic of both Shuli Davidovitch and Dr Landy's defence (Letters, May 19) of current actions in Rafah is the wholesale destruction of Palestinian homes, since they might always "conceal criminal or terrorist activity". Or will the Israeli supreme court now arraign as war criminals those who destroy Palestinian houses which turn out not to have been taken over by terrorists? - The following appeal was launched by the Briitsh Shalom-Salaam Trust early in June 2004:
- In July 2004 347 Jews from Britain, including Israeli citizens living in the UK, have
signed an open letter to the Board of Deputies
of British Jews, demanding that it acknowledges and represents the opinions
of the many British Jews critical of Israeli government actions.
Signatories range far and wide in the Jewish community and include a member of the Board itself, as well as the director of Jewish Council for Racial Equality (JCORE) and many other notable names including Harry Cohen MP, Rabbi John Rayner, Alexei Sayle, Janet Suzman, Dr Jonathan Miller, Harold Pinter, Susie Orbach, Francesca Klug OBE, and Professors Eric J Hobsbawm and Mary Kaldor.

- Press release on the General Synod and its divestment decision, 12th February 2006
Jews for Justice for Palestinians welcomes the decision of the General Synod of the Church of England to 'disinvest from companies profiting from the illegal occupation, such as Caterpillar Inc, until they change their policies'.
We are dismayed by Lord Carey’s condemnation of the resolution on the grounds that it 'ignores the predicament of the Jewish people'. Jewish people have nothing to gain from the wanton destruction of Palestinian homes and bulldozing of olive groves and agricultural land, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
We urge the Church of England to stand firm in its resolution and to recognize the diversity of views amongst British Jews. For most, human-rights abuses are unacceptable whoever perpetrates them.

- Statement on the Lebanon War, 14th August 2006
We have opposed the war in the Lebanon from the outset, as an unjustified and disproportionate response to Hizbullahís capture of two IDF soldiers and the killing of several others. We have also recognised that the conflict did not begin with an unprovoked attack by Hizbullah on the IDF. There has been a cycle of mutual border provocations ever since the Israeli unilateral withdrawal from the Lebanon in the year 2000. We recognise, too, that Israel is overwhelmingly the more powerful force in this unequal conflict.
We have participated in a number of demonstrations and events to protest against the war and to call for an immediate unconditional ceasefire and an immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Lebanon. The basis of our participation in the demonstrations and calls for a ceasefire have been precise and clear: support for these demands. It is not in any sense an endorsement of Hizbullah's policy or programme or terroristic actions undertaken by it. Our participation has stemmed from our outrage at Israel's acts of war and war crimes. We have marched in solidarity with the people of Lebanon and have grieved on the streets of London for the lives of Israelis, Palestinians and Lebanese brutally cut short by the conflict. We have opened a condolence book to allow people to convey their own thoughts to all the mourners at this terrible time.
We deplore the attacks on civilians perpetrated by both sides in this conflict. While some of Hizbullahís rocket attacks on Israeli towns amount to war crimes they have been in no sense a threat to Israel's existence. Israel's sustained bombardment amounts to state terrorism, and seems designed to break the very fabric of Lebanese society.
Hizbullah was born in the eighties as an Islamic organization to fight the Israeli occupation of Lebanon. It is responsible for strongly antisemitic documents and statements that we deplore. But we have to see it [i.e. Hizbullah]*in context. As with many groups it has changed somewhat over the years. In particular it has been evolving into a political party with seats in the Lebanese legislature, and support beyond a fundamentalist base. We hope that it continues to evolve into a more pragmatic force, able and willing to work with others in a pluralistic Lebanese society. Israelís actions may well have the effect of undermining the chances of such a development.
Support for Hizbullah in Lebanon and the wider Arab world has been vastly increased and it is now seen by many as a popular resistance movement. When people from the leader of the Maronite Christians in Lebanon, to demonstrators on the streets of London say “We are all Hizbullah” they are overwhelmingly not endorsing an Islamic fundamentalist programme but what they perceive as a movement of resistance.
Hizbullah's soaring support and credibility is a direct result of Israelís own actions in this war, actions that have made Israelis less not more secure. We believe that the future of the citizens of Israel, Palestine and Lebanon can only be guaranteed by a commitment to a just and lasting negotiated settlement of all outstanding issues and a disavowal of the tools of war and destruction.
*Addendum
One formulation in this statement has given rise to misunderstanding and we wish to remove any ambiguity. In the third last paragraph where it says: ‘But we have to see it in context’ it is clearly referring to Hizbullah as an organisation. Some people have read it otherwise, as if we were suggesting that antisemitism is justifiable by circumstance. It is not. In no sense whatsoever does JfJfP condone the shocking and gratuitous antisemitism found in Hizbullah statements.

- Scottish Jews for
a Just Peace
This letter, signed by 20 SJJP supporters, appeared in The Herald on August 17th:
There has been considerable debate and comment in your paper about the conflict in Lebanon and the attitude of British Jews to the war. If reading the letters page was the only way of gauging non-Israeli Jews’attitude to the war, it would seem that there is and was unanimous support for recent Israeli action. We would however, beg to differ.
It is a point worth making that not all Jews support the actions of the Israeli state in Lebanon and the Occupied Territories, and the level of debate and opposition in Israel itself would suggest we are not alone in this view.
A group of us marched at the Stop the War demonstration in Edinburgh on Saturday past under the banner of Scottish Jews for a Just Peace, calling for an immediate ceasefire, and were proud to do so. The response we had from others on the march was both moving and affirming; our presence triggering sympathetic discussion and mutual understanding with Lebanese, Syrian and Muslim groups and individuals; a dialogue that opens up real potential towards tackling preconceived ideas and views.
Whilst we welcome the current ceasefire, we now want to see the fundamental changes that will turn it into a lasting peace. Israel's use of overwhelming force against its neighbours represents collective punishment on civilian populations, which produces not victory but the hatred that will fuel future conflicts. To say this is not to defend Hizbollah's attacks on civilians; we care very much about the security of the people of Israel. But we recognise that their true security will not be achieved by force; in resolving the conflict, peace cannot be separated from justice - above all, justice for the Palestinian people. Without that, there will be no peace.
We may represent a minority current of Jewish opinion, but believe there are many other Jews living in the UK who feel the same way we do. We would call on them to join us and engage in a meaningful debate about the way forward to peace and justice.

Later in the morning we handed in copies of the statement and left commemerative flowers at the Lebanese embassy and the Palestinian delegation.
However the Israeli embassy barred us from presenting the statement or laying flowers to mark the dead in Israel.
- Senseless in Gaza: JfJfP statement, posted 6th September 2006
The invasion of Lebanon has hidden the invasion of Gaza. The Israeli Army is reducing the buildings to rubble, the population to homelessness and penury. There is hardly any water or power, few supplies of food or clothing. Crossings - nominally EU controlled - are closed by Israel. Where fishing was restricted before, now it is banned altogether.
Having reoccupied Gaza, the IDF is blind to its own failures. They continue to destroy while claiming to be searching for Corporal Shalit, who remains a prisoner. There is no ceasefire here, immediate or sustainable, just state sanctioned violence and murder. Over 220 people were killed in Gaza in August.
Meanwhile, faced with a failure of ‘unilateralism’ the Israeli government chooses to ignore the obvious lesson. Rather than negotiate they prefer to prolong the crisis by instigating their own abductions of democratically elected legislators and ministers. In the words of Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling, this is ‘politicide’.
Israel and its armed forces are wasting time and lives. Only negotiations can see Shalit and thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons released to their families. Only genuine freedom for Palestinians will stop Qassam rockets. Israel knows this, and so does the rest of the world. The situation will not be resolved while Israel and international actors behave as though they were deaf, dumb and blind.
