Respect

A group of approximately 100 elite Jewish intellectuals and academics have published a statement in Britain's The Guardian newspaper declaring their opposition to the policies of the State of Israel.
The article, published in Wednesday's Guardian under the title "We're not celebrating Israel's anniversary", accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing, violating international law, and denying Palestinians "their human rights and national aspirations".
The statement continues to call on the Israeli government to end the embargo on Gaza and grant the right of return for Palestinian refugees.

"We cannot celebrate the birthday of a state founded on terrorism, massacres and the dispossession of another people from their land. We cannot celebrate the birthday of a state that even now engages in ethnic cleansing, that violates international law, that isinflicting a monstrous collective punishment on the civilian population of Gaza and that continues to deny to Palestinians their human rights and national aspirations," said the statement.
