Array Rasmussen Reports polling found that 72% of Americans believeit’s Very Important to reduce illegal immigration and enforce the borders.Just 29% said it was Very Important to legalize the status of thoseillegally living in the country today.”Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, White House spokesman Tony Snow said, “Oursense is that if Majority Leader Harry Reid brings it back up, which heshould, and permits a full debate, …we’re not only going to get a bill, butwe’re going to get a better bill.”Really? and–The Coburn-DeMint amendment to guarantee full border security prior toamnesty, defeated 42-to-54.(To see how your senators vote on these amendments, be certain check outCWF’s online Congressional Scorecard at http://www.cwfpac.com)Maybe President Bush is going to go to Capitol Hill tomorrow and urgesenators to reconsider their votes on these important border securityamendments.

1. “In the course of the years, Israeli settlements have been established in the Gaza Distric and the areas of Judea and Samaria… The status of these settlements derives from the status of the territory, which is held in ‘belligerent occupation’… When the petitioners settled in Gaza Strip and northern Samaria, they did so in full knowledge that they were settling in territory held by Israel in belligerent occupation…” (Israeli government before Supreme Court, Spring 2005). 2. “My conclusion is that civilian settlement in the administered territories contravenes the explicit provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention.” (Theodor Meron, the legal counsel of the Israeli Foreign Ministry in 1967). 3. “The preeminent obstacle to peace is Israel’s colonization of Palestine.” (Jimmy Carter, March 2006). 4. “It’s like a meeting with a dietician. We have to make them much thinner, but not enough to die.” (Dov Weissglas/ advisor to the Israeli Premier explaining the logic behind Israel’s refusal to transfer the tax revenues that it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, March 2006). 5. “I do not believe you can have a million starving Palestinian and have peace,” (James Wolfensohn, March 2006). 6. “… an unfettered flow of people and goods between Gaza and West Bank is needed to link the two territorial elements of the Palestinian economy, and to lay the basis for viable statehood. A functioning link would create a larger effective internal market, help trigger price and income convergence between Gaza and the West Bank and provide a pathway for the economy of the West Bank to a future seaport in Gaza.” (The World Bank Group, December 2004). 7. “If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country… We come from Israel, it’s true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that?” (David Ben-Gurion, 1956). 8. “The IDF… is turning into a killing machine whose efficiency is awe-inspiring, yet shocking.” (Haartez, March 2003). 9. “This is much worse that apartheid,… The Israeli measures, the brutality, make apartheid look like a picnic. We never had jets attacking our townships. We never had sieges that lasted month after month. We never had tanks destroying houses.” (Ronnie Kasrils describing following his visit to the oPt in 2004). 10.“Committee staff delegations have been unable to understand how currently routed barrier in Jerusalem – which rips asunder the existential poles of Christian belief, Nativity and Resurrection, encloses 200,000 Palestinians on the Jerusalem side of the barrier – will improve the security of Israel’s citizens. The fact that the barrier is to be lines with settlements discloses political goal irreversible in nature, contrary to Israel’s declarations.” (Congress of the United States, Committee on International Relations, Staff Report – May 2006) . 11. “[The] formula for the parameters of a unilateral solution are: To maximize the number of Jews; minimize the number of Palestinians; not to withdraw to the 1967 border and not to divide Jerusalem.” (Ehud Olmert, 5 December 2003) . 12. “The Court is not convinced that the construction of the wall along the route chosen was the only means to safeguard the interests of Israel against the peril which it has invoked as justification for that construction.” (International Court of Justice, July 2004). 13. “You don’t simply bundle people onto trucks and drive them away…I prefer to advocate a positive policy, to create, in effect, a condition that in a positive way will induce people to leave.” (Ariel Sharon, 24 August 1988) . 14. Apparently the I a e public is accepting a situation in which military activity in Palestinian towns is accompanied by indiscriminate killing. (Haaretz editorial writer, 29 January 2004) . 15.

However, Israel has been able to violate Palestinian human rights because there is nouniversally enforced system of international law and because Israel, against world opinion, refuses to recognize the territories asoccupied. Unless the international community demands that Israel respect the rule of law andhuman rights, Israel will arrogate to itself the authority to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their land (as it has already beendoing) in any way it chooses. The reasonable personwould know that a just outcome for a violated people illegally dispossessed, illegally discriminated against and illegally occupied isonly possible through universal respect for international law and a universal agreement for a system to enforce it.Disengagement from Gaza but controls remainSince Israel pulled the settlers out of Gaza in what was called “disengagement”, it no longer regards itself as occupying Gaza, andtherefore, not subject to the obligations of an occupying power. These measures have had a devastating effect on the properfunctioning of civilian life inside Gaza thereby violating international law, international human rights law, international humanitarianlaw, and Israeli constitutional and administrative law.Israel’s plan for permanent controlIsrael’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s Convergence or Realignment Plan seeks to impose unilaterally Israeli control over a“sovereign” DEMAND THAT ISRAEL ABIDE BY INTERNATIONAL LAW AND CONVENTIONS AND UN RESOLUTIONS THAT REQUIRE IT TO FULFIL ITS LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AS AN OCCUPYING POWER AND DEMAND AN END TO THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION.References:Gisha: Legal Center for Freedom of Movement - “Disengaged Occupiers: the Legal Status of Gaza”, January 2007Israel Law Resource Centre, “Is Israel Guilty of Violating International Law?”
