Citizens for Fair Legislation
For Immediate Release
August 25, 2004
********************************
CFL ALERT: BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS CHANGED ITS STANCE ON ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION
IN THE WEST BANK; BUSH NOW SAYS SHARON CAN CONTINUE THEFT OF LAND. CALL ON
YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT A JUST FOREIGN POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
TALKING POINTS:
*The New York Times is reporting that the U.S. has told Israelis that they
will support Israeli expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied
territories. This comes after National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice said
that settlement expansion is not consistent with Israeli-U.S. understandings
under the road map. The NY Time’s piece quoted a Bush administration official
as saying that the U.S. is involved in covert policy decisions, which would
accept growth in West Bank settlements. If true, this means the U.S. has
officially abandoned the roadmap. Please seize this opportunity to express
your support for a one state solution in Israel/Palestine and the right of
return for Palestinian refugees. Tell your representatives that if they
support the right of Israelis to continue to steal Palestinian land, that they
should also support the internationally recognized right of return of
Palestinians inside of Israel (portion occupied in 1948).
* Tell your representatives that U.S. sanctioned settlement expansion
effectively negates the two-state solution and leaving the one state solution
as the only viable one. Tell your representatives that as an American you an
only support one democratic state with equal social and human rights for
Palestinians and Israelis. A true democracy respects the rights of each
citizen equally. Historic Palestine now has 6 million Jews and over 5 million
original Palestinian inhabitants (with many million more living along the
borders as refugees). If the U.S. expects all different ethnic and religious
groups in Iraq to live together in one unified democratic nation, there is no
reason for this government not to demand that Israel do the same and offer
citizenship to Palestinians.
