Israeli Scholars to World Jews:"End Occupation;" Declare Israeli Rule Harms Israelis, World Jewry

Hundreds of Israeli intellectuals and artists are urging world Jewry to challenge Israeli policy toward Palestinians, according to the Yahoo News website.

In an open letter released today (September 14, 2016), they say, "we call upon Jews around the world to join with Israeli partners for coordinated action to end the occupation."

The 470 signatures include authors David Grossman and Amos Oz, Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman, and 20 former Israeli ambassadors.

The organization "Save Israel, Stop Occupation" seeks to end Israel's control of territories it won in the 1967 Mideast war and to establish a Palestinian state. Director Jessica Montell says Israel's military rule "harms Israeli society and it harms Jews around the world."
