Human Rights
THE CHOICE IS NOW
Angela Godfrey-Goldstein, Challenge magazine, 29 May 2006
 
Of the 250,000 Israeli citizens living in over a
hundred West Bank settlements, (not counting 200,000
settlers in occupied East Jerusalem), only one-third
will face evacuation, says Leggett. "Many may be
offered relocation to the large settlement blocs Israel
plans to retain. ... Perhaps the most sensitive issue
will be the question of Jerusalem. Palestinians claim
the city as their future capital and say that must be
reflected in any resolution to the Mideast's core
conflict. The U.S. has generally supported the
Palestinian position during previous peace
negotiations."

PALESTINIANS WELCOME UK VOTE FOR ISRAEL ACADEMIC BOYCOTT
Press Release, PACBI, 29 May 2006
 
On 29 May 2006, "British academics proved once again
that they are up to the challenge of meeting injustice
with the powerful message of civil resistance." So said
the Palestinian Academic Campaign for the Boycott of
Israel (PACBI) in response to a vote by the UK's
National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher
Education (NATFHE) to impose an academic boycott of
Israel in response to its "apartheid policies." PACBI
added that, "Just as in the South African case, a
comprehensive regime of sanctions and boycotts remains
... the most morally sound strategy in bringing about
Israel's compliance with international law and
universal principles of human rights."
