I call upon every country in the world to make war on Israel immediately and until such time as Israel has submitted permanently and unconditionally to the government of Palestine everywhere from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Israel is the last major Western colony remaining in Africa or the Middle East. She has committed genocide, extermination, and forced displacement against the native population of Palestine since her inception in 1948. She has done so at greatly accelerated pace over the past year, during which she has killed in excess of 300,000 people, about 150,000 of whom were children. She promises to kill many times that number.
The norm against Western colonization established by wars of decolonization in the 20th century is in peril. The world must act now. Given the stakes, each nation must prepare to strike alone.
I stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, their resistance forces, their allies throughout the region, the global intifada, and, especially, my fellow law scholars in Palestine, both teachers and students, thousands of whom have been slaughtered by Israel over the past year.
