Funny Thing To Say At A Wedding

Send your letter to the rector

can send it to rectorado@uva.es and iee@uva.es

the attention of Hon. and Magfco. Rector of the University of Valladolid, Mark Sexton, and the director of the Institute of European Studies at the University of Valladolid, Ricardo Manuel Martín de la Guardia

Sacristán Dear Mr. Don Marcos and Don Ricardo Manuel Martín de la Guardia:
Platform
From Solidarity with Palestine-Valladolid we convey our deep dissatisfaction with the programming, the 27th of September, Day "Israel and the European Union ', organized by the Institute of European Studies University of Valladolid and Spain-Israel Solidarity Association, while we request the suspension of it for the reasons then expose them.

1 .- Spain-Israel Solidarity Association, organized jointly with the Institute Day, is a legitimate entity of the Zionist ideology which implements the State of Israel and resulting in the occupation and theft of Palestinian land, the subjugation of its people, the constant violation of their individual and collective rights, the discrimnación legal, economic and social development of Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, breach of international law, etc.

To check, there is only access to its website (www.asei.net) and check its contents: justification of the murders and rapes carried out by Israel, magnification of the resistance actions taken by the Palestinian people and concealment of the continuing attacks, including killings and torture "by Israel, 'normalization' of the policy of fait accompli as the annexation of East Jerusalem or the settlements, condemned by the international community, including the Government of Spain .. .

sometimes fall squarely in the Arabophobia, as in an article claiming that the Arabic language is indecipherable, so their learning brains were overloaded and eventually disconnected. Nor hesitate to justify the killing of more than 1,400 -900 of them civilians and about 400 children, in Gaza between December 2008 and January 2009 or the siege that Israel submitted to the Strip, or the murder of nine activists of the Freedom Flotilla or defamation of individuals participating in this expedition, which qualify as "pirates." Sometimes verging on the absurd, as in its founding manifesto asserting that "the intellectual and political defense," the State of Israel has the same order that the defense of the whole humanity "or that the defense of Israel in Spain" has the same universal goal that the statement constitucionalde Cortes of Cadiz, 1812.

We firmly believe that the University of Valladolid, an institution characterized by the defense of human rights principles and the strength democrácticos and intellectual honesty as the cornerstones of the debate and controversy can not collaborate with an entity such as Spain, Israel Solidarity Association, which advocates a seamless state next contravening those provisions for over 60 years.

2 .- Both the Conference program and the profile of many of the participants show that the main issue when addressing any aspect of Israel (the subjugation of the Palestinian people and the systematic violation of international law) not be analyzed in no time.

This absence is more serious if we consider that the Seminar will examine the relationship between Israel and Europe, where international law, Human Rights and Democracy are the fundamental pillars of the European Union.

For these reasons we request the cancellation of this Day and any collaboration with Spain-Israel Solidarity Association. And for the sake of academic excellence and intellectual rigor we dare to propose another day on the relations between Israel and Europe that affects fundamental aspects mentioned: the subjugation of the Palestinian people, the violation of individual rights and collective and internaciional breaks the law.

remain, Yours faithfully

SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE PLATFORM-VALLADOLID BODY ASKS TO GIVE NO PLACE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ASSOCIATIONS TO JUSTIFY THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The Institute for European Studies organizes a conference entitled "Israel and the European Union 'in collaboration with the Spain-Israel Solidarity Association, an organization that justifies the Slaughter in Gaza, the siege on Gaza or the approach to the Freedom Flotilla
Platform
Palestine Solidarity with Valladolid Valladolid .-
Platform-Valladolid Solidarity with Palestine has requested through a public letter to the rector of the University of Valladolid (UVa), Mark Sexton, who has no room in the academic associations to justify the violation of human rights. With this letter, the platform comes to meet the organization of the Day 'Israel and the European Union' , scheduled for September 27, organized by the Institute of European Studies at UVa and Solidarity Association-Spain Israel.

Solidarity Association Spain, Israel, explains the platform in his open letter, is a legitimate entity of the Zionist ideology which implements the State of Israel and resulting in the occupation and theft of Palestinian territory, the subjugation of its people, the constant violation of their individual and collective rights, legal discrimination, economic social and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, breach of international law, etc.

To check, there is only access to its website ( www.aseiweb.net ) and check its contents: justification of the murders and rapes carried out by Israel, magnification of the resistance actions carried out by the Palestinian people and concealment of the continuing attacks, including killings and torture by Israeli-; 'normalization' of the policy of fait accompli as the annexation of East Jerusalem or the settlements, condemned by the international community, including the Government of Spain ...

Sometimes fall squarely in the Arabophobia , as in an article claiming that the Arabic language is indecipherable, so their learning brains were overloaded and eventually disconnected. Nor hesitate to justify the killing of more than 1,400 -900 of them civilians and about 400 children, in Gaza between December 2008 and January 2009 or the siege that Israel submitted to the Strip or the murder of nine activists of the Freedom Flotilla or defamation of individuals participating in this expedition, which qualify as "pirates." Sometimes verging on the absurd, as in its founding manifesto asserting that "the intellectual and political defense," the State of Israel has the same order that the defense of the whole humanity "or that the defense of Israel in Spain" has the same universal goal that the constitutional declaration of the Cortes of Cadiz in 1812.

From the Platform is also strongly supported by the University of Valladolid, an institution characterized by the defense of human rights, democratic principles and the strength and honesty intellectual as cornerstones of the debate and controversy can not collaborate with an entity such as Spain, Israel Solidarity Association, which advocates a seamless next State breached those provisions for over 60 years.

Moreover, the Platform believes that both the Conference program and the profile of many of the participants show that the main issue when addressing any aspect of Israel (the subjugation of the Palestinian people and the systematic failure international law) was not discussed at any time.

This absence is more serious if one considers that the Day will explore the relationship between Israel and Europe, where international law, Human Rights and Democracy are the fundamental pillars of the European Union.

For these reasons, the Platform calls the cancellation of any partnership with the Spain-Israel Solidarity . Also, for the sake of academic excellence and intellectual rigor, offers a workshop on relations between Israel and Europe that affects fundamental aspects mentioned: the subjugation of the Palestinian people, the violation of their individual and collective rights and violations of international law.

Finally, the Platform urges the authorities of the University of Valladolid to open the debate for the institution to join the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and the Campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against the State of Israel (BDS). In this sense, the Platform remembered as an excellent starting point Congress 'What can the university address the violation of human rights in Israel and occupied Palestinian territories' , which was held last academic year simultaneously in the four public universities of Castilla y León.

Cancellation of Jerusalem String Quartet performance

PLATFORM CALLS FOR SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE TO THE BOARD TO CANCEL THE ACTION OF JERUSALEM STRING QUARTET

also calls for revoking its status as 'quartet in residence' of the Cultural Center Miguel Delibes and his work teaching at the Conservatory


.- Valladolid Platform Palestine Solidarity has asked the directors of Culture , María José Salgueiro, and Education, Juan José Mateos, to cancel the actions of the Israeli Jerusalem String Quartet formation in the Auditorio Miguel Delibes de Valladolid, scheduled for November, and that he overruled his condition 'quartet residence "Miguel Delibes Cultural Centre, which includes teaching duties at the Conservatory.

Jerusalem String Quartet is a of the most active in the campaign of the State of Israel to provide an image of 'normalization', hiding the occupation and subjugation of the Palestinian people. The quartet is often hired by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel, assuming the clause of "spreading the excellence of our country." In an article in the Hebrew press showed its satisfaction with "carrying a violin in one hand and a rifle in the other." In fact, training asiduidada acts to the Israeli army. Jerusalem String Quartet has been boycotted in other European cities like London or Luxembourg.

In a letter to both directors, the Platform calls them "do not bend" image campaigns that through the dissemination of cultural products carried out by the State of Israel and that, conversely, to join the Campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). This campaign is a nonviolent initiative promoted by a large number of Palestinian popular organizations and is based in the boycott against Apartheid South Africa 80's. The letter

are reminded Mateos Salgueiro and the boycott of cultural and educational areas is of particular importance. Thus, the Platform are asked "not to hire or work with citizens or associations of Israel in the activities organized from their respective ministries, unless explicitly condemned by of these persons or entities in the performance of his government towards the Palestinian people. "

The Salgueiro and Mateos letter ends with an appeal" to strengthen relations with the Palestinian people in the cultural, educational and tourism ".
Platform
From Solidarity with Palestine-Valladolid we recall that the position of Jerusalem String Quartet is not a purely personal attitude. It is part of a strategy of the State of Israel intended to project a certain image through their international cultural creators. After Gaza killing (more than 1,400 people killed), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs allocated two million dollars to improve the country's image through culture and entertainment. "We will ship worldwide to our most famous novelists and writers ... This will show the kinder face of Israel and avoid that we identify only in a context of war" (Arye Mekel, general director of Cultural Affairs Ministry Affairs of Israel, in comments reported by The New York Times, March 3, 2009).
