Subject: Goldstone, Gold, Unethical Absence of Voice Representing Palestinians
Dear Daniel Terris,
The Brandeis International Center for Ethics, Justice & Public Life is showing complete ethical cluelessness.
Limiting the podium at the Nov. 5 Gaza Report event (see advertisement below) to two Jewish Zionists without a voice representing Palestinians is unethical, unjust, and a distortion of political discourse to the point of harming American pubic life.
Putting an Arab participant on the stage with Goldstone and Gold would not only be fair but also simply the right thing to do.
Sincerely yours,
Joachim Martillo
President
Boston, MA
*The Challenge of the UN Gaza Report
The head of a controversial United Nations fact-finding mission to the Gaza Strip and a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations will discuss assertions that Israel and Palestinian fighters committed war crimes during three weeks of fighting in the Middle East last winter.
Justice Richard Goldstone, head of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict, and chair of the Ethics Center's Advisory Board, and Dore Gold, former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, will exchange views on the report’s findings. The report said there is evidence of war crimes on both sides and that the Israelis made disproportionate use of force.
Read the full Brandeis University press release and the Boston Globe article about the event. The website of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict includes links to the full report. The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs published its “Initial Response to Report of the Fact Finding Mission on Gaza Established Pursuant to Resolution S-9/1 of the Human Rights Council” on September 24, 2009.
The Ethics Center's recent “Ethical Inquiry” article “Proportionality in the Context of Armed Conflict” includes some historical and legal context for the issue of proportionality and links to additional responses to the Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict.
Seating is first come, first served. The event will be streamed live on the Brandeis website and simulcast in the Schwartz Auditorium. Priority for questions will be given to Brandeis students. Doors open at 4:30 pm. Parking is available in the Tower Lot. For directions and a campus map, click here.
