Noam Chomsky and colleagues write about the fate of the Palestinians under military occupation. Chomsky: restrain Israel Thursday October 19, 2000 As American Jews, we write out of urgent concern for the safety of Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation and Palestinian citizens of Israel, and urgent concern that the United States has neglected its obligation to use its influence with the government of Israel to protect Palestinian lives. In particular, we are concerned by a) excessive use of force by the Israeli military in suppressing Palestinian protests; b) arming and encouraging of Israeli settlers in the West Bank to carry out vigilante actions against Palestinian civilians; c) reports of pogroms against Palestinian citizens of Israel by Jewish mobs, acting with the assistance of the Israeli police; d) the failure of the US government to condemn these actions or to take concrete steps to bring them to a halt. Under international law, Israel is the controlling legal power for all of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, and therefore responsible for the security of the population. The US, as the principal financial, military, diplomatic and political backer of the Israeli government, has responsibility to act to guarantee compliance with international law by the Israeli government. We urgently call on the US government to take all necessary measures to ensure the compliance of the Israeli government with its obligations to protect the Palestinian population.
