To President Obama, Secretary Clinton, Special Envoy Mitchell:
We urge you to use the power of your offices to end the demolition of Palestinian homes in the Israeli Occupied Territories.
Until recently your administration had expressed strong opposition to Israeli settlement expansion. Your statements had given supporters of a peaceful and just solution some hope. The importance of ending Israel’s destructive policy is reflected in the Road Map initiative, led by the US, which calls for the cessation of house demolitions in Phase One. Instead of backing down in the face of Israeli intransigence, we believe you need to do more.
Since 1967, the Israeli government has demolished over 24,000 Palestinian homes -- which families have built on their own land inside the Occupied Territories -- in order to:
- Make room for Israeli settlements, businesses or governmental offices;
- Create Israeli-only “by-pass” roads that allow Israeli settlers to drive to and from their new homes in the Territories while “by-passing” Palestinian towns and villages; and
- Build the Separation Wall deep into the West Bank, effectively annexing large settlement blocs situated on Palestinian land into the State of Israel.
Israel justifies these demolitions on the grounds that Palestinians often build on their own land without Israeli-approved “permits.” However, as the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports, Israel denies 94% of all Palestinian applications for building permits from Palestinian families in the Occupied Territories, and then demolishes Palestinian homes for the failure to have a permit that they cannot obtain. B'tselem, the Israeli Information Center in the Occupied Territories, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions, and other Israeli Human Rights groups note that Palestinians in East Jerusalem face the same reality. The Israeli Ministry of Defense acknowledged in 2005 that these home demolitions serve no security purpose and ended its policy of punitive demolitions at that time.
Israel’s house demolition policy is intimately linked to the expansion of Israeli settlements in Occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank. This policy is illegal under international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Hague Convention of 1907.
Finally, Israel’s home demolition policy undermines any hope for a just resolution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict as it creates immense suffering for Palestinian families and communities, rendering several generations of a family homeless. To add insult to injury, Palestinian families are often charged with the cost of demolition. This policy also fails to serve either Israeli or US interests. We call upon you, President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and Special Envoy Mitchell, to condemn this policy and forcefully call for the immediate cessation of the Israeli government’s demolition of Palestinian homes.

House demolition is just one of the deeply offensive actions of the Israeli government. It is offensive on many levels - I ask how would Netanyahu or Obama feel if their home was demolished. How would they feel if their land was stolen by others who then go on to build homes for themselves. It is so grossly unjust that political games and fear of right wing jewish lobyists must not be a reason to international law. - razia

Forget politics, forget economics, on the simple level of morality these demolitions are outrageous and as such so damaging to the Israel - quite apart from the anguish to the Palestinians. VCM - Linda Frank
There's perhaps no better way to fight the "war on terror" than to start walking our talk. We say we support human rights, but out of the other side our national mouth we support Israel's outright denial of so many human rights for Palestinians. So not only would you save Palestinian homes by calling for a cessation of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, but we could save oodles of money that we're currently wasting on US and Israeli "security." - Lulu Silbey
As an American Jew who has witnessed a half-dozen house demoltiions in Palestine, I implore you to STOP THE DEMOLTIONS NOW. - Linda Heaney

As friends to Israel with hearts set on peace for Israelis and Palestinians, as a nation we must urge Israel to stop destroying Palestinian homes and to halt the expansion of homes for Israelis on the West Bank and Palestinian areas of Jerusalem.
The Israeli government shows such callous disregard for Palestinians and such egregious arrogant disregard for the peace process that it is painfully difficult for us as a nation to find ways to work for a peaceful resolution of the Palestine-Israel conflict. President Obama, I urge you to move past the blandishments of AIPAC and others whose view is narrow and blind to their own flaws. Please find some way for our nation to practice what as parents we call "tough love" -- tell Israel when its behavior is shameful, let Israel know that our support is not unconditional. Just as we can't tolerate bullies in our homes, neighborhoods or nation even when we care for them--especially when we care for them--international bullying by our friends cmust not be tolerated either. - Joy Messinger

These demolitions are heartbreaking and inexcusable. Israel is creating facts on the ground which may soon make a two-state solution impossible.

As a Jew, and as an American citizen, who does take justice and democracy very seriously, I ask you, the leaders of my country, to stop neglecting the needs of the Palestinian people and the needs of the Israeli people. What do they both need? A DE-MILITARIZATION of their lands and an END TO THE OCCUPATION. Without these needs being satisfied there will be perpetual strife and violence in Israel/Palestine.

The House of Representatives have already displayed their blatant bias or collective ignorance with the passage of H.R. 867.

I hope that the Obama administration does not continue to backslide and capitulate to the right wing government currently in power in Israel and it's well placed lobby groups domestically. The interests of the United States and our brave men and women in uniform in the region are undermined daily as we continue to place the interest of Israel over the interests of justice and the values of the American people.

It's time we stop supporting this inhumanity with our tax dollars that go to Israel. - V. Rev. Timothy J. Ferguson
I’ve seen the dehumanizing effect gratuitous violence has on society in several parts of the world but the most searing image of the violation of human dignity I’ve ever witnessed was the eviction of an innocent family from their ancestral home, the ransacking of their belongings and the demolition of their house by a D-9 Cat. The pleadings, the cries, the tears, the rumble of the engine, the stench of the diesel, the lunging of the monster, the smashing of stone, the rising musty dust, and the desperate faces of the dispossessed remain branded in my memory.
The whole thing took only a few minutes. The violence is compounded by the realization that it is executed with such precision and sophisticated calculation by young soldiers from a supposedly civilized society. How easy it is to dismiss compassion and conscience.
Have our government officials and representatives not seen this? Where is their effective protest? SCREEM! - Heike Schotten

I care a great deal about the longterm security of Israel as well as humane treatment for Palestinians. I also appreciate your efforts to try to be accomodating and compromising with the Israeli leadership, but it seems clear at this point that the leadership will stop its settlement activities and it's attempts to control all of East Jerusalem unless the US gets much tougher.

The US Congress needs to end its dereliction and practice due diligence by holding hearings on the Goldstone Reort as well as Israel's disgraceful house demolitions and evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and other illegally occupied territories.
It's long past time for Congress to investigate Israel's misuse of US military and other assistance as required by the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC 2771-2781) and regulate or end US aid to Israel according to the Foreign Assistance Act (22 USC 2151 et seq).
Additionally, AIPAC, SOS Israel and other Israel lobby, advocacy and financial support groups should be investigated for compliance with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 USC 611 et seq) and IRS regulations. - allyson gutirrez-bundy

You cannot continue to support the actions of Israel and at the same time support the actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are contradictory.

Dear President Obama,
We are tarnishing our souls daily by allowing our tax dollars (over 3 billion annually) to be used for home demolitions, illegal settlement building, internal roadblocks and checkpoints, the evil apartheid wall and the siege of Gaza. While the world watched in horror, you never harshly condemned the bombing of over 1,400 innocent victims of the Israeli assault on Gaza, (many of whom are still suffering the effects of illegal white phosphorus), and countless other brutal crimes against humanity. You had the audacity to justify Israel’s “right to defend itself”! Your silence was complicity!
With all due respect, WHERE IS THE CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN???
President Obama, I voted for you because you talked the talk, but you are NOT walking the walk! This is called HYPOCRISY! It's time for you to put some economic teeth into those diplomatic requests of yours to the Israelis. The only language they understand is $$$$. Cut off the financial umbilical cord until they comply with international law. Honor your Nobel Peace Prize by standing for justice!
The US Congress needs to end its dereliction by holding hearings on the Goldstone Report as well as Israel's inhumane home demolitions and evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem and other illegally occupied territories. If our representatives continue to put the interests of Israel before the interests of the American people, they must be voted out of office.
It's long overdue for Congress to investigate Israel's misuse of US military and other assistance as required by the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC 2771-2781) and end US aid to Israel according to the Foreign Assistance Act (22 USC 2151 et seq) until they are in full compliance.

To destroy our neighbor's house amounts to the destruction of the wellbeing of the whole neighborhood.

I am utterly disgusted that my tax dollars are used, directly or indirectly, to finance these misdeeds--the destruction of people's homes, the killing of children in Lebanon, and attacks on civilians with white phosphorus (to name a few). I am also disgusted with our politicians for selling their souls to the lobbies that support all this as exercise of "Israel's right to defend itself." Talk about "rogue states"--rogue state No. 1 is Israel (which, by the way, has never actually met the definition of a "state," which is a country with defined, stable, internationally recognized boundaries and a capital).

President Obama,
I'm a conservative American who has come to understand the Middle East very deeply over the past several years. An entire shelf of my home is filled with books on the history and current politics of the region. I've come to recognize that the Israeli government is recalcitrant on the issue of settlements and has continuously snubbed and embarrassed several consecutive American presidents. So far the last several administrations have proven impotent, unwilling to confront and cowed by the Israel lobby and their Evangelical allies. The previous administration was almost entirely owned by Tel Aviv policy by way of the neocons. I'm coming to suspect that you, Mr. Obama, are proving no different than Mr. Bush in this regard.
As a conservative who's had his eyes opened to the realities of the region, I tell you the occupation is inhumane and obscene. In particular, the settlements. What's worst (and most relevant) of all, is this is all done with the United States name stamped on it through funding and diplomatic cover.
Be it at the end of your first or second term -- end this. You have the power. - Michael Fairchild

If there is any doubt amidst a barrage of present-day noise from pro-Israel groups about "Israel's right to have defensible borders," that is: Israel's steady expansion in the absence of peace through land theft, home demolition and population removal, Israel's actions have a long and tawdry legacy. A delegation of leading American Zionists blithely declared to President Woodrow Wilson's King-Crane Commission in l9l9: "The Zionists look forward to a practically complete dispossession of the present non-Jewish inhabitants of Palestine."

I support this petition. I know that some of the actions of the IDF etc. are short term security measures in response to proven acts of aggression by various violent cells and organizations coming from within and beyond the West Bank. Nevertheless the demolitions as a whole are indefensible as acts of aggression against civilians. One can support an end to house demolitions while reminding the "boycott-divestment" movement to return from the fringe, i.e. protesting Israeli
culture, economy, interrupting religious practice and social fabric. The United States is thegreatest threat to world peace, but when a citizen, just for the sake of example, Wynton Marsalis

Stop being so insecure, and learn to use your head, and act without fear, for yourself. Learn to discover the truth for yourself.
It takes a lot of strength to admit your wrongs, and learn to do right, so your progeny will not suffer! so you are not cursed and cursed for the injustice that you are administering, in the name of God, and your survival! I am certain that Jesus would not approve of the crimes you are committing in His name.
Security lies in taking care of your brother first, before yourself! Get that into your virus-infected brain, please, my brother and my sister. You have to stop deluding yourself!
Stop lying, practising hypocrisy. It is the insecure who are not all-inclusive, Start to treat all as their brothers and sisters! Stop sinning, and start being wise... there is hope! It takes great strength of character to admit your wrongs - when I separate myself from you, is when the problems arise!
Don't forget that the most debated issue was "who killed Jesus Christ", and that Jesus Absolutely HATED hypocrites and money changers... Think about why he hated them. And, what the takeaways should be... one of the qualities of a great thinker is that you have the capacity to recognize the truth, and see it as different from untruth! Think.

When will Israel put into practice the principle of treating other people the way you wish to be treated yourself? You have the power to do it. Stop using fear and start using humanity. - James Dickins
- Rosie Marshall
If someone turned me out of my house and bulldozed it in front of me, I would go mad. If they took it over and lived in it themselves, I think I would go madder. I weep for the children. - wendy morgan

These people need our help. - Eric Williams
- Zafar Khan
Israel is not violating human and international laws in the dark. It does it with full cooperation from U.S authorities and with support from majority of congress members. There are only two ways Israel’s crimes can be brought to an end. The first one is for America to pull it’s un-conditional support for Tel Aviv. This will never happen. The other, more difficult but possibly more likely scenario, is that noble and decent Jews force Israel’s hand. Thanks for creating the petition. Please see more on Israel and Palestine on sajepress.com - Martin Michaels
Denounce the expansionist Israeli permit regime. Peace and prosperity for all regardless of religion, race, or nationality. - Amanda ParIer
With the advent of the internet, Israel can no longer cover up its total disregard for Palestinians' human rights. I hope you're aware that many Europeans and Australians/New Zealanders now regard your state as the new South Africa - something you can only reverse through reversal of your shameful apartheid policies.
You must end these demolitions - if not for the sake of the Palestinians on the receiving end, do it for the sake of Israel's abysmal international reputation. - Mikos Fabersunne

Would prophet Abraham destroy homes of people so he can built his? NO! I thank all the jewish brothers and sisters who are standing up to the zionists. If more and more people stand up to this oppressive state, we will see justice for the oppressed. - Mark Dsouza

This destruction must cease immediately. Acts of hatred only generate more hatred - and I'm not saying anything new. They only instigate more armed conflict, which only benefits armed manufacturers and merchants. Stop the madness! - Noah Sochet
- Quinn Still-Zinsel
I liken the settlement of Zionists in Palestine to the "colonization" of America, beginning w/the Europeans. They stole land, drove out it's native inhabitants, and waged a war on their culture. The only difference between the struggle of the Native American people & the people of Palestine is: Palestine still has a chance of preserving it's culture. With pressure from the global community & the creation of petitions like these, we can help the Palestinian people over-come. - Linda Scherzinger
- Patricia Yenawine

People are people, and no one deserves this. - Lena Mahmoud Abdallah

Rabbi Manis Friedman:
When asked by Moment Magazine a few years ago, “How Should Jews Treat Their Arab Neighbors?”, this was Friedman’s response as reported in the Forward:
“The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle),” Friedman wrote in response to the question posed by Moment Magazine for its “Ask the Rabbis” feature… - Scott Westbrook

Ethnic cleansing is what this is. We should stop using euphemisms such as “establishment of settlements” and “Israeli home destruction,” and call it what it is. By our continued political, military and financial support of Israel, our government, and we as its citizens, are complicit in these crimes against humanity. - akiriks
