Jerusalem Post - Some 363 Israeli left-wing public figures including former Knesset
members called on the British Parliament to recognize the state of
Palestine when it debates the matter in London .
They
signed a letter which stated: ”We, Israelis who worry and care for the
well-being of the state of Israel, believe that the long-term existence
and security of Israel depends on the long-term existence and security
of a Palestinian state.”
The document continued, “For this
reason we, the undersigned, urge members of the UK Parliament to vote in
favor of the motion to be debated on Monday 13th October 2014, calling
on the British Government to recognize the State of Palestine alongside
the State of Israel.”
The letter was initiated by former Foreign
Ministry director-general Alon Liel, Peace Now founder Amiram Goldblum
and “Breaking the Silence” founder Yehuda Shaul.
Among its
signatories are veteran left wing activist Uri Avnery, former Meretz
ministers Ran Cohen and Yossi Sarid as well as former MKs Yael Dayan of
Labor and Mossi Raz and Naomi Chazan of Meretz.

A former co-worker, a Russian-Jewish immigrant, told me that Uri Avnery is an antisemite. She must be fulminating now.
