Prime Minister Netanyahu
c/o Embassy of Israel to the United States 3514 International Dr NW
Washington, DC 20006

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

We write to you regarding the ongoing attempts of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) to evict the Sumarin family from their home in East Jerusalem and ask for you to take action to prevent this eviction and ensure the Sumarin family is able to remain in their family home.

Thirty years ago, the JNF asked the Israeli government to seize the Sumarin family home based on Israel’s Absentee Property Law, even though the family had rightful title and were never absent. On May 23, 1991, without notification to the family that this process had been initiated, the property was subsequently purchased by the JNF from the Development Authority in a land barter. In 1994, Judge Yehudit Tzur ruled that the declaration of the property as absentee property was unlawful and therefore denied the claim for eviction, yet the land and the title to their home were never returned to the Sumarin family. The Israeli Government’s Klugman Commission later noted “grave findings regarding the functioning of the Custodian of Absentee Properties” and pledged to end the use of that law going forward but failed to apply the policy retroactively to past eviction cases.

On June 30, 2020, the Jerusalem District Court rejected the Sumarin family’s appeal against eviction by the JNF, requiring the family to vacate the home by August 16th. If the family does not comply, the JNF can then ask for removal by force, a potentially explosive act in East Jerusalem. On August 5th, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case and issued an order delaying the eviction.

We believe that the eviction of the Sumarin family and expropriation of their property sets a dangerous precedent that is detrimental to the stability of Jerusalem and further undermines the opportunity for peace. We are highly concerned that, if the government of Israel permits the misapplication of the Absentee Property Law in the case of the Sumarin family, it will further apply it in any area that Israel acquires unilaterally through the proposed annexation of West Bank territories. This could formalize the illegal expropriation of private Palestinian land on a massive scale.

As strong supporters of Israel as a democratic state, we urgently request that the Government of Israel intervene on behalf of the Sumarin family and halt their eviction from their long-standing home.

Sincerely,
Jackie Speier Member of Congress

USPC Letter on Lebanon Relief

We, being of Palestinian heritage, know all too well the suffering and humanitarian need of our people. Through many decades and through all types of struggles, Palestinians have always stepped up to help and assist when needed. Our efforts and our commitments to our people continue, as you have seen with our ongoing Relief Funds to Palestine and our last Medical Mission campaign to combat COVID, which raised over $200,000 and continues to help protect our medical workers who are battling this virus. We are immensely proud of our many doctors and medical personnel, and others, who have helped in this effort.
 
NOW…..it’s time to help others in need….
Lebanon is faced with a horrific catastrophe that came at a time when the nation also struggles with many other issues: COVID, a faltering economy, coping with Syrian refugees, and political unrest. But the medical and humanitarian need there now is immense. We want to help, and we need to help. Many Palestinian communities and organizations are coming together in
a joint effort to raise funds through our Medical Mission. These funds will
be used in the most efficient and effective ways possible to get medical  supplies, medicine, basic hygiene items, and food into the hands of those who need them most. Resources will go where the needs are greatest.
 
This is a big effort….
As you know, Lebanon has an exceptionally large Palestinian population, and as such, has been aided by the UPA (United Palestinian Appeal). UPA has been operating in Lebanon since 1982, has well established logistical and distribution support, and can get items where they need to go, in the best way possible—without waste. We will partner with UPA in a supporting role to gather whatever resources they need and mainly help them with funding.
 
Be assured….
Your donations and all monies raised will be distributed wisely. 

Sincerely,

USPC Board

USPC Statement on UAE - Israel Agreement

Today, Thursday, August 13th, the United Arab Emirates announced that they are establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel through a US-brokered deal. The deal required Israel to suspend its plan to annex occupied West Bank land belonging to Palestinians.

Some have been praising President Donald Trump for delivering what can be considered a key foreign policy victory. However, the Palestinian American community harbors major doubts about how this move might seriously affect the future of the Palestinian people.

Although we recognize the pressing need for peace in the region, peace cannot be accomplished without the involvement of the Palestinian people. Prematurely jumping to conclusions about how this agreement might help establish peace in the region will lead to a severely false sense of progress. While Israel still occupies Palestinian land and unapologetically abuses Palestinian human rights, no real progress towards peace will ever be made. Genuine peace can only be achieved when Israel and the US respect the full rights of the Palestinian people and adhere to pertinent U.N. resolutions and international laws calling for an end to Israel's illegal occupation and its unrelenting disposession and oppression of the Palestinians.

This move by President Trump is no more than a political stunt designed to shore up his sagging popularity. It does nothing to alleviate Palestinian suffering or put an end to Israel’s illegal occupation and its continued human rights abuses. Calling on the Arab world to normalize relations with Israel while Israeli occupation and daily oppression of the Palestinians go totally unchallenged by the US administration is a perversion of justice and an insult to all those who aspire for freedom and yearn for genuine peace. Normalizing oppression, occupation, and injustice is certainly no way to achieve peace.

Sincerely,

USPC Board

Palestinian Principles Launches Statement of Principles and Policies for 2020 Elections

Click HERE to visit the official Palestinian Principles website, which lists the signatories of this statement. This document was created, approved and signed by leaders and members of every major U.S. Palestinian organization.

“We, the undersigned Palestinian Americans declare the following set of principles. Our support for candidates to federal offices shall be determined by their level of recognition and agreement with these tenets.

1. The Palestinian people possess an inalienable right to self-determination.

2. The Israeli occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza must immediately and unconditionally end.

3. Palestinian refugees possess an inalienable right to return to their homelands. Per UN Resolution 194, all refugees wishing to "return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date," and "compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible."

4. The United States embassy shall be returned to Tel Aviv.

5. Israel must treat all peoples under its control equally, regardless of race, color, religion, or national origin. "All peoples" includes both Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem.

6. Nonviolent boycotts, including BDS activities, reside on "the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values," as declared by the United States Supreme Court. Anti-BDS legislation that seeks to disparately treat BDS supporters is unconstitutional. Pro-BDS activity does not equate to anti-Semitism.

7. The unlawful and inhumane blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has decimated its economy, devastated its public health system, and caused widespread destruction, poverty, illness and death, must immediately and unconditionally end.

8. Per UN Security Council Resolution 2334, the United States shall condemn "all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land, demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions."

9. United States recognition of Israeli annexation of any territories occupied since 1967 shall be denied and/or reversed.

10. The Wall, constructed since 2002, which extends deep into lands illegally occupied by Israel since 1967, and which the International Court of Justice in 2004 declared as "contrary to international law," shall be dismantled.

11. Israel’s 2018 nation-state law," declaring that the right to self-determination in Israel is extended to Jews only, is racist.

12. Per House Resolution 2407, "Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act," United States funds shall "not support the military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment of Palestinian children."

13. United States military aid to Israel should be conditioned on ending Israeli practices that violate Palestinian rights and contravene international law.

Palestinian Americans speak for ourselves. We do not define the Palestinian issue solely in terms of religion, but rather in terms of human, political, and civil rights. We expect all campaigns to include Palestinian American voices in their decision making processes, and we ask that all candidates running for federal office affirm these principles and policies founded in morality, human rights, and international law.”

Call on Senators to STOP Israeli Annexation of West Bank

Click here to visit the Petition2Congress page and send this letter to your local Senators and Representatives!

“I am writing to you out of a personal concern urging you to protect the Human Rights of the Palestinian People.

On 28 May, 2020, Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu verbally committed to annexing parts of the West Bank in July after a joint Israeli-US team completes the mapping of an exact territory based on the conceptual map put forth by President Trump's administration.

The Netanyahu and Gantz annexation plan, the Trump administration’s “Peace and Prosperity” plan, and the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank & East Jerusalem all upend long standing American foreign policy and exist in violation of the principles of international law and United Nations resolutions. The blatant and flagrant infringement on Palestinian human rights & territorial integrity in this moment of history is a corruption of our American values which aim to protect human life and offer all people freedom and equality.

Furthermore, the occupation, land annexation, expansion of illegal settlements on Palestinian land, and decades-long construction of Israel’s apartheid wall to separate itself, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank all undermine any chance for peace to exist in the region. By fragmenting and destroying the contiguity of the land delineated by the 1967 borders, this annexation plan makes a mockery of the viability of a future Palestinian state.

The present day reality for Palestinians is that their access to water and water aquifers on Palestinian land is controlled, restricted, and redirected to illegal settlements (often times allowing only a few days of water-access to Palestinian villages/towns/cities, while illegal settlements enjoy unlimited and uninterrupted access to clean water). Military checkpoints, segregated areas, road blocks, and settler violence cut off Palestinian families from one another and eliminate any opportunity for Palestinians to experience any degree of a quality lifestyle. The lives of Palestinian men, women & children are at perpetual risk under these conditions.

I call on you, as my representative, to:

1. Support human rights, equality, freedom and self-determination for the Palestinian people;
2. Affirm the right of both the Palestinian people and Israeli people to live in peace and security;
3. Endorse H.R.2407 “Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli
Military Occupation Act” cosponsored by 24 Democratic members of the House of
Representatives;
4. Condemn and denounce in the strongest terms the annexation of Palestinian land and expansion of illegal
Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Trump administration’s ‘Peace and
Prosperity’ plan, the endorsement of the illegal annexation agenda, and the flagrant disregard of
Palestinian human rights and freedom.
5. Call for an immediately end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem.
6. Make United States military aid to Israel conditional on ending Israeli practices that violate Palestinian rights and contravene international law.”

Call on Senators to vote NO on S.3176

Call on your Senators to vote NO on S.3176 which will give $38+ billion of American tax dollars to Israel for the next 10 years! This bill will help fund the continued occupation and annexation of Palestinian land and the displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Please contact your Senators with this message template:

---

Dear Congressman/Senator,

​I am urgently writing to request that you vote NO on Senate Bill S.3176, which calls to aid Israel with $38 billion dollars of US taxpayer money. This bill is specifically designed to help fund the continued annexation of Palestinian land and further the displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

​​The human rights abuses that are unapologetically cast upon the Palestinian people have been recognized by the international community as illegal and genocidal. If this predatory bill is approved, it will condemn the Palestinian people to another FULL DECADE of brutality, abuse, destruction of homes, and very limited health options. As an advocate for human rights and an opponent of genocide, I ask that you to uphold our core American values of freedom and liberty by denying this funding.​​

Furthermore, the tax money of US citizens should never be used to help facilitate human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing. It would be a profound injustice to use our tax money to specifically target a single group of people: Palestinians. I can assure you that the entire human rights supporter constituency is watching your decision and the decisions of your fellow officeholders. In this crucial & decade-defining moment, we request that you vote NO on Senate Bill S.3176 and support human rights in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Sincerely,

__________

On the Murder of George Floyd

George Floyd was a 46-year-old black American man who was unapologetically murdered by Minneapolis police last week. Most Americans by now have seen the original video of former officer Derek Chauvin applying his full body weight to George Floyd’s neck while 3 additional officers positioned themselves on top of Floyd’s back and torso, leading to Floyd’s quick suffocation and death (ruled a homicide by autopsy reports). Especially chilling to hear in this rare video capture are the pained and desperate pleas made by Floyd, begging officers to let him breathe—a sentiment that was fiercely echoed by agitated bystanders shocked at the murder they were witnessing. 

This type of racist policing is a violation of international human rights, and should be indisputably condemned by US institutions. Once again, we are faced with the crushing reality that the United States police institutions are thoroughly corrupt and operate in a predatory nature towards black Americans and other individuals of color. 

As Palestinian Americans, it is our responsibility to acknowledge the daily reality that black Americans experience in the United States on account of specific racial targeting, systemic oppression, and a corrupt, unchecked police force.

We must advocate for the end of police brutality towards the black community as passionately as we advocate for the human rights of those living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The same imperial force that targets Arabs overseas has militarized the police in black communities here in the US—black Americans are often subjected to similar surveillance, repression, and criminalization that Arabs experience in Palestine and other parts of the colonized Arab world. 

We stand in solidarity with George Floyd, his family, and the entire Black Lives Matter movement. We demand the appropriate prosecution of every officer involved in this murder, and we call for an end to police violence against black communities and those who protest these injustices.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" – Martin Luther King Jr.

Open Letter to Bernie Sanders

Dear Senator Sanders:

We, the undersigned, Palestinian-American organizations and
Palestinian-American community leaders around the United
States, would like to thank you on behalf of our community for
your unwavering support of justice, equality, and human rights
for all. We were proud to be among those who endorsed your
presidential campaign on March 2, 2020 as we took the lead in
urging our Palestinian-American community to commit
themselves to your campaign at all levels.

Now that you have endorsed Vice President Biden for the
Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, we would like to
call on you to continue raising your voice in support of justice
and equality for the Palestinians people.

The US Palestinian Council, along with other Palestinian-
American organizations, is leading the effort to ensure our
community’s full participation in the political process. While
making sure to have a voice in our democracy by cementing our
long and proud history of engaging in the democratic process,
we are quite aware that the 2020 presidential election may be the
most important campaign for our country in generations.

On behalf of our Palestinian-American community, we hereby
urge you to share our concerns with Vice President Biden and to encourage him to be supportive of vital issues to our
community. It is worth mentioning that our members have a
genuine and effective impact in the electoral process because of
their sustained level of political engagement. Having said that,
we would like to emphasize that the following issues are of
extreme importance to our community:

1. Human rights for all, including the Palestinians. 
2. Ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza,
and East Jerusalem, based on United Nations resolutions.
3. Supporting the Palestinians’ right to self-determination. 
4. Immediate reinstatement of US humanitarian aid to
Palestine.
5. Immediate lifting of the inhumane blockade of the Gaza
Strip, which has led to unsustainable humanitarian and
economic conditions for the two million Palestinians living
there.
6. Linking US funding to Israel with Israel’s compliance
with human rights norms and its adherence to international
law and UN Security Council resolutions.

We strongly urge you to help our community in highlighting
these principles and issues in your ongoing conversations with
Vice President Biden. We also will be very happy to engage
with his campaign on all issues that are of interest to both sides.

Respectfully yours,

Important Congressional Letters Urge Trump Admin to Provide Necessary Humanitarian Assistance to Palestinians Battling COVID-19 Outbreak

USPC welcomes recent letters issued by members of the Senate and the House calling on President Trump and his administration to ensure that US humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza must be restored without delay in light of the alarming spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. This aid includes such urgent provisions as medicine and much-needed medical equipment. The letter in the Senate is led by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Van Hollen while the letter in the house is led by Reps. Chellie Pingree and David Price.

As a territory already subject to a long and inhumane blockade and siege, the Gaza Strip is especially vulnerable to the repercussions of a pandemic outbreak. The Trump administration has already scaled back aid to Palestinians and UNRWA, making the spread of the pandemic especially concerning.

USPC lauds the principled stand of the lawmakers who have taken this conscientious position by putting forth the letters, and emphasizes the importance of taking immediate steps to ensure that Palestinian lives are saved as the whole world battles this global pandemic.

Please use the following message and link to urge our leaders to provide necessary humanitarian assistance to Palestinians battling the COVID-19 Outbreak:

JOINT STATEMENT ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S PEACE PLAN

The unveiling of the so called “Deal of the Century” is yet another disgraceful act by the Trump Administration.  A “peace deal” is supposed to entail conflict-ending terms that are to the mutual benefit of both parties, and can only be reached through a level playing field. This so-called “deal” is nothing more than an attempt by President Trump to impose an extremist Israeli agenda on the Palestinians, without regard to their most basic rights or aspirations.  This Administration’s policy towards the Palestinians is not based on any moral or legal principles, but caters exclusively to the President’s far-right domestic constituency at the expense of peace, stability, and the U.S. national interest.

The timing of this plan’s release also appears to be politically motivated, as President Trump seeks to distract the public’s attention from the mounting evidence of his corruption in the midst of his impeachment trial in the Senate. The same can be said of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also facing corruption charges. As Dr. Hanan Ashrawi stated, this is a “lethal diversionary tactic at the expense of Palestinian rights and international law.” 

The Trump administration’s so-called “deal” is a violation of International Law, attempting to legitimize illegal Israeli settlements in the face of world-wide condemnation.  As the occupying power, Israel must abide by the norms of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) governing situations of belligerent occupation, particularly the 1907 Hague Regulations and Geneva Convention IV (GC IV).  As part of its obligations, Israel is forbidden under Article 49 GC IV from forcefully transferring or deporting the local population from the occupied territory, or from transferring its own population into the occupied territory.  The establishment and continued development of Israeli settlements in the West Bank is not only a clear violation of international law, but even amounts to a war crime (rule 156; ICC Statute, art. 8(2)(b)(viii)).

It has also been the long-standing policy of U.S. through successive administrations that Israel’s settlement policy is indeed a violation of International Law and an impediment to peace. Just a month before President Trump took office, President Barack Obama broke with a pattern of U.S. shielding of Israel from accountability at the United Nations, allowing a resolution to pass without U.S. objections that reaffirmed the status of Israeli settlements as “illegitimate” and a “flagrant violation under International Law”. While the Obama administration failed to apply meaningful pressure on Israel to change course, its approach of criticizing Israeli violations of international law and Palestinian rights gave the U.S. better credibility to pursue a peace agreement.

After over 70 years of displacement and over 50 years of brutal occupation, the Palestinian people remain steadfast and resilient in demanding justice and restoring their rights. There can never be a just and lasting peace agreement without securing the freedom of the Palestinian people. To that end, we call upon our fellow Americans to reject the Trump Administration’s ‘Charade of the Century,’  and call for applying real accountability on Israel, by conditioning U.S. military aid to Israel on Israel ending the occupation, so that both Israelis and Palestinians can live together in peace and security.
