940 Intellectuals, Activists, & Community/Organizational Leaders Worldwide Say NO to the “Geneva Accord”
The Geneva Accord was signed Monday, December 1, 2003, amid great media andpolitical fanfare. The 50-page document lays out a plan for a presumed”peace agreement” between Israel and the Palestinian people. We, theundersigned, consider this initiative as inconsistent with the prerequisitesof a just and durable peace for the following reasons:
1. It attempts to nullify the Palestinian right of return, both as acollective national right and as an individual right. By doing so, itstrengthens existing attempts to relocate and scatter Palestinian refugeesthroughout the world and gives credence to plans to abrogate internationallaw pertaining to the inalienable nature of the Right of Return. The netresult would be to extract the very anchor of the Palestinian struggle forself-determination: the indivisible oneness of the Palestinian people andtheir right to their homes, properties and homeland.
2. It provides a Palestinian-Arab cover for the exclusive nature of theIsraeli polity as a “Jewish State”, thus abrogating the national characterof the Palestinian people within 1948 borders. It therefore fails torecognize the right of the 1.2 million Palestinian citizens of Israel tolive in a democratic state for all its citizens: Jews and Palestinians, andit sets stage for mass transfer and ethnic cleansing in the future tomaintain demographic Jewish dominance.
3. It accepts the reconfiguration of Jerusalem based on Israeli annexationplans, and grants Palestinian-Arab legitimacy to the colonial process thataltered the Arab character of Jerusalem, making it impossible for thePalestinians to exercise control over “East Jerusalem,” not to say anythingabout “West Jerusalem,” which was conquered and ethnically cleansed in 1948.
4. It permanently accepts the presence of the vast majority of Israelisettlement colonies, particularly those that surround Jerusalem from theeast, south, north and northwest, where most post-1967 settlers live, andalters the geography of Palestine to accommodate such colonial seizures.
5. It codifies a process that would limit the upper ceiling of a potentialPalestinian polity to a truncated and demilitarized entity void ofsovereignty, and sets in motion a process of expanding Israeli politicaloversight and control over any potential Palestinian entity.
6. It paves for an economic/political relationship that subordinates thePalestinian people to an exclusive and dominant Israeli polity, thusstrategically de-linking the Palestinians from the Arab people andsubjugating the national interests of all Arabs to the singular power of anIsraeli-US alliance.
7. It allows for Israeli military and economic penetration and permanentoutposts into the presumed Palestinian entity.
8. It leaves open all Israeli claims to the region`s water resources,natural wealth, and airspace. The text makes several references to annexes,but these issues have, in effect, been deferred, and may become the “finalstatus” issues of the Geneva understanding.
9. It dilutes the international consensus on the conflict and attempts totransform the basis of the Palestinian struggle from one of nationalself-determination and return to that of modified civil rights within aprescribed political framework.
10. Most importantly, it weakens the national unity and resolve of thePalestinian people leading to the potential defeat of the current Intifadain the same manner Madrid and Oslo destroyed the first a decade ago.
11. It diminishes European commitment to Palestinian sovereignty, and mostimportantly, it expands the margin of Palestinian concessions, which havebeen bottoming out during the past two decades, making it very difficult forfuture Palestinian negotiators to back away from these concessions,including the renunciation of the Right of Return.
12. It assumes the Palestinian victims of Israel are the criminals, and the new judges allegedly more liberal than previous ones in the sentencing. The Geneva Accord is a natural extension and an inevitable result of the “Road Map” and all associated models. The outcome of all, if allowed tosucceed, would be to terminate the Palestinian march to freedom, to nullifyindefinitely and de-legitimize the Palestinian right to return, and tosubordinate the Arab nation to a heavily militarized outpost with normalizedrelationships with its surrounding.
