Anti-Israel Petitions Signed by Israeli AcademicsIsraeli Academics Lobbying for "recognition" for "Palestine"; What will they say when Tel Aviv is bathed with rockets fired from Recognized Palestine?We, the undersigned, call on all persons seeking peace and freedom, and upon all nations to join us in welcoming the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, to support it and to work and act together in order to encourage the citizens of both countries to live together in peace, based on the '67 borders and mutual agreement. A final and complete end to the occupation is a basic condition for the freedom of both peoples, for the realization of Israel's Declaration of Independence and a future of peaceful coexistence. Prof. Chaim Adler, Israel Prize laureate
Also see the recounting of the event as reported in the Jerusalem Post below ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Recognition of the Palestinian State – and then negotiations - rather than another Masada In front of our very eyes, an insane drama is being acted out. The Prime Minister of Israel is leading his citizens to Masada. Human morality, Jewish history and the interests of Israel – all clearly show the way to being the first state in the world to recognize, in the United Nations, our neighbor state and them to enter into negations, based on equality, regarding territorial exchanges and security arrangements. After all, the Palestinian State recognizes the State of Israel in the "67 borders. The Jewish People arose in the Land of Israel, there they developed their identity. The Palestinian People arose in Palestine, there they developed their identity. Therefore, we sincerely welcome the expected declaration of independence by the Palestinian State, Israel's neighbor, and within the borders at the time of our independence which were determined at the end of the War of Independence in 1949; the borders more commonly known as the '67 borders. This is the natural right of both the Jewish and the Palestinian people – as written in Israel's Declaration of Independence "to be masters of their own fate, like all other nations, in their own sovereign State". The independence of both peoples strengthens one and the other, it is both a moral and basic necessity at one and, the same time, it is the foundation upon which good, neighborly relations are built. We, the undersigned, call on all persons seeking peace and freedom, and upon all nations to join us in welcoming the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, to support it and to work and act together in order to encourage the citizens of both countries to live together in peace, based on the '67 borders and mutual agreement. A final and complete end to the occupation is a basic condition for the freedom of both peoples, for the realization of Israel's Declaration of Independence and a future of peaceful coexistence.

leftists demonstrate for PA statehood in TA By BEN HARTMAN Dozens of Israeli artists and academics on Thursday proclaimed their support for the Palestinian United Nations statehood bid, outside Independence Hall on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv. The setting was symbolic, held outside the same
building where David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the independence of the
state of Israel on May 14, 1948. The declaration reads: "We, the undersigned, call on all persons seeking peace and freedom, and upon all nations to join us in welcoming the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, to support it and to work and act together in order to encourage the citizens of both countries to live together in peace, based on the '67 borders and mutual agreement. A final and complete end to the occupation is a basic condition for the freedom of both peoples, for the realization of Israel's Declaration of Independence and a future of peaceful coexistence." The signatories included actress and Israel Prize laureate Gila Almagor-Agmon, former education minister and Israel Prize laureate Shulamit Aloni, former OC IDF Chief Education Officer Maj.-Gen. (res.) Nehemiah Dagan, and author and Israel Prize laureate Amos Oz. Former ambassador Alon Liel told the crowd that Israelis must support the Palestinian statehood bid and ignore Washington's impending Security Council veto of the initiative. Liel called US President Barack Obama's speech
at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday "a knockout punch to
[Palestinian Authority President] Mahmoud Abbas. A clearly anti-
Palestinian US campaign speech. A speech where he said the US
supports the rebels in Tunisia, in Libya, in Egypt, in Bahrain, but
in Palestine? No. The Palestinians are something else because they
are facing Israel. The US doesn't have the power to deal you this blow." In April, a group that included many of the same Israelis proclaimed their support for a Palestinian state outside Independence Hall. Thursday's effort was significantly more low-key than the one in April, in which many passersby booed and shouted at the protesters, and a number of shoving matches broke out. On Friday, Peace Now will also hold a series of demonstrations in support of the Palestinian statehood bid. Titled "Israel says yes to the Palestinian state," the initiative will include rallies in north Tel Aviv at the corner of Arlozorov and Namir, in Jerusalem under the Strings Bridge, in Kiryat Ono, and in Haifa.
