Home About Us Commentary Campaig Hold Israel Accountable!


At a recent American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, President Bush addressed a large crowd, many of whom are political contributors. He declared, "I will use every asset at our disposal to do our most important job, which is to protect the American people." The uncritical support he and the Congress continue to give to Israel's land-hungry policies will make the American people unsafe for decades to come. In a more balanced attempt at 'effective foreign policy' we urge you to sign our petition for an Israel Accountability and Security Act. Sign today to let President Bush and Congress know that Americans will not turn the same blind eye.

Dear Representative:

The long-term security of Israel is continually undermined by distrust felt by its neighbors in the Middle East, including Palestinians, and of the United States, its chief supporter. In order to restore credibility in America’s role in the Middle East, I strongly believe Israel must be held as accountable for its behavior as we hold other nations in the region. A new moral approach to negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians is the basis of the “Israel Accountability and Security Act” (http://www.cnionline.org/act.html), which I urge you to support.The “Israel Accountability and Security Act” aims to bring Israel’s actions into conformity with international laws and American laws affecting multilateral agreements, thereby bolstering the national interests of the United States throughout the Middle East.The proposed act: (1) Deplores the current policies of the State of Israel that endanger both American security interests in the Middle East and the long-term security of Israel itself;(2) Reprimands the Israeli army for its targeted assassinations without due process of law, the demolition of homes, and the pillaging of the civilian and security infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority;(3) Demands that Israel cease the settlement of Israeli colonists in the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights, which has proceeded despite protests from the United States and in violation of numerous UN Security Council resolutions; and that it dismantle those settlements constructed from 2001 onward;(4) Demands that Israel cease construction of any security barriers, including the Separation Barrier, that are beyond Israel's internationally recognized borders, also known as the "Green Line," as has been done in Gaza;(5) Asks that Israel enter into a regional Middle East Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons; and that it dismantle and destroy any existing weapons of mass destruction;(6) Asks that Israel enter into serious and unconditional negotiations with the Palestinian Authority, as well as the governments of Lebanon and Syria in order to realize a full and permanent peace.(7) Asks that Israel cooperate fully in investigating the death of U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie.The cycle of violence in the Middle East continues to harm our national interest, and in signing this petition, I urge you to intervene more directly in the Israeli-Palestinian question in order to bring a just and lasting peace and security to both the Israelis and the Palestinians.
