US and Israeli academics publish "urgent letter" against Palestinian ethnic cleansing
"We, members and friends of Israeli academe, are horrified by U.S. buildup of aggression toward Iraq and by the Israeli political leadership's enthusiastic support for it," the Israelis wrote. "We are deeply worried by indications that the `fog of war' could be exploited by the Israeli government to commit further crimes against the Palestinian people, up to full-fledged ethnic cleansing," the Israelis added.

"The U.S. letter echoes that urgency. "We join with our Israeli colleagues in calling for vigilance as events unfold in Israel and the occupied territories," the letter said. "With an average of more than $10 million per day of American tax dollars going to Israel, we believe Americans cannot remain silent while crimes as abhorrent as ethnic cleansing are being openly advocated."
