800 AMERICAN PROFESSORS SIGN DOCUMENT
WARNING OF COMING ISRAELI ETHNIC CLEANSING

CHICAGO -- Earlier this year, 187 Israeli professors signed an
"Urgent Warning" letter titled "The Israeli government may
be contemplating crimes against humanity."

Today, 800 American professors have signed a similar
document, warning of coming Israeli ethnic cleansing.

Released on 29 September 2002, the original Israeli letter
began by stating:

    "We, members and friends of Israeli academe, are horrified
    by US buildup of aggression towards Iraq and by the
    Israeli political leadership's enthusiastic support for
    it. We are deeply worried by indications that the 'fog of
    war' could be exploited by the Israeli government to
    commit further crimes against the Palestinian people, up
    to full-fledged ethnic cleansing."

The letter continued on to note that the coalition ruling
Israel included parties that promote ethnic cleansing of
the Palestinian population as a "solution" to the
conflict, the letter cited several examples of senior
Israeli government and military officials using the
language of ethnic cleansing, and called on the
international community to "pay close attention to events
that unfold within Israel and in the Occupied
Territories."

The American letter, released on 18 December 2002, opens
with expressions of full support for the Israeli letter.
So far signed by 800 professors and intellectuals, the U.S.
letter concludes:

    "We join with our Israeli colleagues in calling for
    vigilance as events unfold in Israel and the Occupied
    Territories. With an average of more than $10 million
    dollars per day of American tax dollars going to Israel,
    we believe Americans cannot remain silent while crimes as
    abhorrent as ethnic cleansing are being openly advocated.

    We urge our government to communicate clearly to the
    government of Israel that the expulsion of people
    according to race, religion or nationality would
    constitute crimes against humanity and will not be
    tolerated."
