Open letter

Attention Minister Avigdor Lieberman

Attention Mr Secretary of State , John Kerry

We hereby appeal to you in connection with the ongoing pressure on the Israeli government by the international community, which, using various methods (boycott, increasing intolerance towards Israel and Jews, etc.) tends to force it to the elimination of settlements in Judea and Samaria to accelerate the creation of the Palestinian state on these territories.

Dear Mr John Kerry, you certainly are aware of documents and decisions on the polity of the former Ottoman territory of Palestine. David Ben-Gurion once declared “On the basis of international, historical and natural law, the earth and the country of Israel is an indivisible property of the Jewish people living in the world and not a single Prime Minister has the right to give any inch of this land! We insist on the fact that this situation persisted and no international public opinion or pressure could change this position.”

Fully sharing and supporting this position by David Ben Gurion, we believe that the Israeli government has the authority to speak on behalf of all Jews only when it controls or at least claims the entire territory of the former Ottoman Palestine.

Dear Mr John Kerry, you might not know about this statement of the first Prime Minister of Israel but you should be familiar with the London Declaration on Combating Anti-Semitism signed on 25.02.2009. Declaration draws attention to the resurgence of anti-Semitism in politics, international relations and in society as well as the dramatic increase in reported hate crimes against Jews.

Unfortunately, the acceptance of the Declaration was only endorsed by 400 state and public figures from 40 countries (half were members of Australian Parliament). This indicates at both the latent anti-Semitism and fear to speak out against this shameful phenomenon in today’s world.

In such circumstances, it is a crime to put pressure on Israel to have abandoned areas designated for the Jewish people and thus deprive them of the possibility of finding a refuge from the growing anti-Semitism in today’s living. The recent reports of rising anti-Semitic incidents in France by 58 per cent, in Belgium by30 per cent and in Denmark by100% may serve as a confirmation.

And in case if you, Mr Kerry, have not signed this Declaration, you have no moral right to participate in the preparation of negotiations on Judea and Samaria and in deciding on the matter. If the declaration bears your signature then together with the Government of Israel you take the full measure of responsibility before all Jewish people to preserve the specified territories for them.

We also believe that we should stop talking and writing “Palestinians” and start talking aloud and write ARABS . In accordance with the BENCHMARK DOCUMENTS, we believe Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria should be recognized by the world community as a territory for settlement by Jews under the jurisdiction of the State of Israel.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you agree with the contents of this letter, please contact our editors at redaktion@cdialog.org and advise about your readiness to sign it, indicating the country of residence.
