C'est
parce que je suis juive, que depuis 30 ans, j'ai consacré une
grande partie de ma vie professionnelle et sociale, à la
défense des droits des immigrés et des Français
issus de l'immigration. En tant que juive française, descendante
de victimes de la Shoah, je me sens profondément soeur des
immigrés et Français issus de l'immigration. Quelque soit
par ailleurs la singularité de notre histoire, une
communauté de destin doit nous solidariser avec ces
minorités, installées en France, en butte au racisme et
aux discriminations de toute sorte.
En outre, manifester, en tant que juifs, notre soutien
notamment aux jeunes d'origine arabe permettra d'aborder plus
sereinement avec eux la question du conflit israëlo-palestinien en
évitant une hostilité anti-juive qui repose souvent sur
une grande ignorance.
Mais je pense que beaucoup de signataires vont mettre en
avant le même argument (il est si évident) : je suis
solidaire parce que juif

help us flush out war criminals !
Dear friend,
As
you probably know from media reports, Yesh Gvul has taken a f urther
step in its campaign against Israeli officers suspected of human rights
abuses or war crimes. Operating on material we supplied, a UK law
firm has formally filed criminal complaints with the local police,
against a number of senior IDF officers. One such, reserve
general Doron Almog, narrowly escaped arrest when he remained on board
the El Al plane that brought him to London, and returned to Israel
without disembarking.
Alongside
Almog, more senior figures now under investigation in Britain include
IDF chief of staff Dan Halutz, after Israel's judiciary and law
enforcement agencies systematically evaded our demands for an
investigation into his role in the killing of civilians in the
bombing of a Gaza residential building. Having exhausted Israel's
judicial process, we decided to take the Halutz case to a foreign
court in the hope of getting the thorough investigation denied here in
Israel.
That initiative has
aroused enormous anger from Israel's political and military
leadership, and we have come under furious attacks in the media.
On top of the resentment such an initiative would evoke in other lands,
it is also a direct challenge to the traditional Jewish reluctance to
"wash dirty linen in public", and the equally traditional
hatred within minority Jewish communities toward the "moiser"
("snitch"). The publicity has spawned legal initiatives to penalise
Israelis who take cases to foreign courts. Equally sinister: hate mail
and death threats directed at Yesh Gvul members associated with
the case.
As
you can imagine, we are currently under heavy pressure, and we're
in urgent need of aid, moral and material. We will welcome
any declaration of support. We'll welcome it even more if
it's backed up with a financial donation, because our already strained
resources are simply not up to meeting the challenges and opportunities
now created.
