Petition to End House Demolitions Now!

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.

    Congressional representatives made a choice to turn their backs on human rights when they voted in favor of resolution 867. Please don't make the same error that congress did. Blind US endorsement of Israeli policy must stop NOW!!

    Products advertised on mainstream US media channels are being boycotted by my family until those media outlets present equal coverage of the Israeli property demolitions in the occupied territories of Palestine.

    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.

    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

    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."
  20. Lulu Silbey
    As an American Jew who has witnessed a half-dozen house demoltiions in Palestine, I implore you to STOP THE DEMOLTIONS NOW.

    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.

    These demolitions are heartbreaking and inexcusable. Israel is creating facts on the ground which may soon make a two-state solution impossible. The US should not condone this illegal activity, and we should support the findings of the Goldstone Report. There is no good reason that Israel should be able to dictate American policy in the Middle East.

    I have personally seen on dozens of occasions while visiting the Holy Land the scars of dispossesion and destruction o Palestinians and their homes especially in occupied East Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The fact is: this devastation is in direct defiance of scores of UN resolutions, the International Court of Justice, and the stance of the World Council of Churches -- all (and more!) of whom acknowledge that these areas so victimized, along with the rest of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights are OCCUPIED TERRITORIES. Shame on Israel for keeping them and their people so, and shame on our government for its complicity. What an inhumane disgrace for America! -- Rev. Darrel Meyers, Burbank, CA

    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. Things like arbitrary home demolitions - and they are arbitrary - are the logical outcomes of an occupying force which knows no restraint, and knows no pressure from its greatest enemy and enabler, the checkbook of the United States government.

    The destruction of Palestinian homes is easily the worst thing that can be done. It shows the continuing inhumane treatment of another people.

    The House of Representatives have already displayed their blatant bias or collective ignorance with the passage of H.R. 867. They were given their orders and talking points from AIPAC and voted accordingly. 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.
    The time has come for the U.S. government to start acting as a legitimate honest broker in this matter. Failure to do so fans the flames of the extremists and undermines the moderate elements that seek peace. The time has come to put a halt to the "tail wagging the dog"!

  472. 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!

    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.

    President Obama, we sincerely believe you and your administration can bring about the critically necessary change that can result in peace in Israel and Palestine. An end, total end, to the building of Jewish homes and infrastructure on the West Bank side of the 1967 line is the place to start.

    Stop criminal activities of Israel which demolishes Palestinian houses in Jerusalem and on other Palestinian land. Stop criminal acts against Palestinian water sources. Bring illegal Israeli settlements before the U.N. and World Court.Boycott all Israeli businesses and freeze credit and forbid financial aid until Israel vacates Palestinian land and removes to 1947 borders. End the occupation of Palestinian land in Gaza and West Bank.

    Have the courage to take a principled stand for justice for all people. Condemn house demolitions as the vile acts of ethnic cleansing that they are. To do otherwise sends a message that the government of the United States of America has no regard for justice, human rights, and the rule of law--and this makes the world a more dangerous place for us all.

If Israel does not moderate it's stand against palestinians then the US, and you as its President, must stand up for their rights and cut aid and military support to the Israeli State. You cannot continue to support the actions of Israel and at the same time support the actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are contradictory.

Justice and peace are intertwined and our US Congress seems not to get this. Keep up the educational campaign. We, in the US do not get the full story most of the time, and that's what those who control the power and occupy by military might want (Rome all over again like in Jesus time).

    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.

    “Fear the cry of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between them and their Lord.”
    (Prophet Mohammed)

    To destroy our neighbor's house amounts to the destruction of the wellbeing of the whole neighborhood. The future of Israel' security resides in giving space to the Palestinians that live in Israel, Palestinian Territories included. How come that the map of Israel literally looks like the pelt of a Dalmatian dog? Each black (Palestinian) spot becoming a Ghetto? We all neighbors in this planet should strive to make those spots part of a pelt with no blemishes, keeping the integrity of a pelt that should be unique and beautiful.

    No just peace between Israel and the Palestinians is possible if Israel continues to expand settlements in the West Bank and demolish Palestinian homes in East Jerusalem.

    The Israeli military also damaged or destroyed 20,000 homes in the Gaza Strip during its 22-day assault & massacres(Dec'08-Jan'09)in Gaza.

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). If we don't awaken from our stupor of indifference and cast off the delusory view of the world we are fed here in the U.S., we will bring ourselves to ruin.

    If only the US would stop aiding and abetting murder, these things woujld not happen, but 85% of our Congresspeople that we vote for, to do the business of the United States, take their cues on every vote from AIPAC - Israel's foreign group here that pressures Congress to vote pro Israel against whatever our current president may have attempted to do. READ THE ISRAEL lOBBY AND US FOREIGN POLICY - Mearsheimer & Walt, before it gets pulled off every library shelf in the nation. . Read and learn and end this tail wagging dog absurd dependency.

    Why is the United States government reluctant to confront the blatant inhumanity of the Israeli occupation? It is the United States that sends massive aid to Israel, not Israel to the United States. Are there no strings attached?

    Almost one year ago (Sept/Oct 2009) we spent one intense month with the Michigan Peace Team, living in the West Bank and witnessing with our own eyes the injustices which Israelis inflict upon Palestinian on a daily basis. It is truly shameful and utterly contrary to Jewish tradition.

    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.

The truth is out. Israel is not the victim but the aggressor, Palestine is in danger of ethnic extinction by Israel.

    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 can not believe that Palestine is not a state. I can not believe that you do not deal directly with Hammas, the duly elected government of Gaza. I can not believe that you continually give money and weapons, as well as pour negative influence at the UN, to Israel. My grandchildren are half Jewish; I have absolutely nothing against the Jews, but our treatment of these displaced people is appalling.

    We must send a clear message to the Israeli war hawks that their criminal occupation will no longer be tolerated. We must support Palestinian statehood, if not on the '67 borders, then with borders to be determined, and get the ball rolling. The peace process has become a farce. The time for decisive action is now.

    Housing demolitions are part of a wide set of actions by Israel that are illegitimate and counter productive to the peace process.

    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
    plays his jazz in another country he certainly deserves not
    to be met with a walkout and picketers due to what the United
    States has done to ... well every continent except possibly Australia, on the face of the earth.

    The extreme right wing in Israel care nothing about the safety and security of anyone else in the world as long as they get their way. They have made a cold calculation that they would rather have conflict with the Palestinians than allow them their rights. If this ethnic cleansing is allowed to continue it will lead to a major war, no doubt about it. America is the only country that can prevent it.

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. Cogito Ergo Sum.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
