[Peace-discuss] Historians' letter on Gaza

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

in case you know any historians

---------- Forwarded message ----------

*Historians' Letter to President Obama and Members of Congress*

In the face of the ongoing carnage in Gaza, members of *Historians Against
the War* are circulating the letter below, with an initial list of
signatories. We encourage you to sign it
<http://historiansagainstwar.org/gazapetition.html#petition> and *to
quickly forward this message to fellow historians.* As our numbers grow, we
will seek opportunities to publicize and to forward to relevant officials.

*We deplore the ongoing attacks against civilians in Gaza and in Israel. We
also recognize the disproportionate harm that the Israeli military, which
the United States has armed and supported for decades, is inflicting on the
population of Gaza.*

*We are profoundly disturbed that Israeli forces are killing and wounding
so many Palestinian children. Desperate conditions in Gaza resulting from
Israeli policies have made effective evacuation of war zones virtually
impossible. We regard as unacceptable the failure of United States elected
officials to hold Israel accountable for such acts.*

*As we watch the death toll mount and observe the terror of the trapped
inhabitants in Gaza, we call upon you to demand a cease-fire, the immediate
withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and a permanent end to the blockade
so that its people can resume some semblance of normal life. We urge you to
suspend US military aid to Israel, until there is assurance that this aid
will no longer be used for the commission of war crimes.*

*As historians, we recognize this as a moment of acute moral crisis in
which it is vitally important that United States policy towards the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict change direction.*

Please add your name to this letter.
