From: Center for Policy Research <cpr> Subject: Arab H.R. Assoc.,Nazareth   The Arab Association for Human Rights P.O. Box 215 Nazareth, 16101 Israel Phone (972)-6-561923 Fax (972)-6-564934  The Arab Association for Human Rights (HRA) was  formed in 1988 to address discriminatory practices and  human rights abuses by Israel against its Palestinian  citizens.  It is a unique association concerned with the civil,  political, economic, social and cultural rights of the  Palestinian national minority in Israel. Among the issues  of concern are land confiscation, education, prison  conditions, unemployment, torture and the unequal  allocation of Israel's resources.  Today there are around 800,000 Palestinian Arabs living  within the Green line (the pre-1967 borders of Israel),  constituting 18% of Israel's citizens. For them it is an  empty citizenship in a system geared exclusively for the  needs of the Jewish population. Legally and practically,  Israel has proclaimed itself a Jewish state and early  promises of equality for non-Jewish citizens have not  been fulfilled. This is apparent in many areas strongly  affecting the Palestinian national minority.  Most Arab agricultural land has been confiscated since  1948. The Arab sector is vastly underfunded and does  not receive a fair share of state resources. On a day-to- day level, Palestinians face discrimination in many  different forms and find it is a struggle to get permission  to build a house, start a business, find a job or educate  their children.

Actually, the record of the Allies activities, in the face of incontrovertible evidence as to what the Nazis (may they rot in hell) were doing, clearly points to the conclusion that they would have done nothing.  The railways to the camps were not bombed, despite the ease of doing so.  The US, the "place of refuge" allowed in a bare pittance of Jews from Europe, primarily for public relations, so that the government could say it was "doing something".  Many ships with refugees were turned away from US shores; some found refuge in Cuba or South America, many others sunk or had to return to Europe (with predictable consequences).  The hope today is that we have collectively learned a lesson, and are less complacent to ignore other countries' "internal affairs".  The sad reality is that this does not seem to be the case.

Mr. Jefferson would be clearly disappointed in your designation of  him as author of the bill of rights.  And your reference to those in Israel was condesceding and inappropriate. The Declaratio of Independence of 1776 was written by Thomas Jefferson. In 1787, the Constitution was drafted by 55 men in Philadelphia. In 1791, the Bill of Rights was added.  Well, maybe Jefferson would be flattered.  As to you guys at UVA, your right, not all of you are anti-Jewish, or self-hating.  But when I visited Charlottesville, I noticed a distinct lack of diversity, from which I must assume you garner your inability to perceive the reality of the outside world.

The cases aren't really comparable.  A project like a freeway requires public hearings, court action, appeals, advance determination of restitution, and so on.  The razing of the Moghrabi district in East Jerusalem happened within hours of the end of the hostilities of the 6 Day War.  The residents were given only two or three hours' notice to pack up and find accomodations elsewhere.  They had no chance of public hearing, debate, appeal, negotiation or anything.  It was get out or die in the rubble.

Perhaps, starting here with an immediate "accusation" is not a particularly good way to generate open responses? How about explaining what you see as being Israel's *real worries* and how they *need* to be addressed?

Since then, no serious Israeli leader (including Shamir) really thinks the the occupied territories worth the trouble. The only question became the question of price and other quantitative detail. The best thing the  Palestinians can do for themselves these days is to stop the Intifada and try to live as normally as possible (I know, it's hard under occupation). Otherwise people might think that five years of stone throwing (as justified as it may be) has caused the Palestinians an irreversible damage that  prevents them from running a normal state when the time comes. Currently  it serves no purpose and it's just a waste of human life and economic resources.
