Dear Colleagues
Now is Monday and we have received already at least ten important
new signatures to a petition which is not yet quite finished! I was
unable to check my mail on Friday so excuse my silence on the very
positive reactions we have received so far.
Below I have made two suggested additions: one from Aaron Benavot
concerning the uses of the statistics and one from Ray Thomas
concerning the possibilities of cooperation between ICBS.
Any additional suggestions?
Yours sincerely
J P Roos

As professional social scientists, aware of the crucial role of
information (data) in social and economic development, scientific
analysis and not least in university teaching, we deplore the attack
by the IDF on the Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) in
early December 2001 and the destruction of equipment and data held
by this institution.
We call on all European/Israeli and Palestinian social scientists
to add their names to ours, and to call upon the Israeli government
and military authorities to apologise, immediately return all census-
related documents and computer files, and to provide some form of
restitution.
As a positive measure, we also call upon the Israel Central Bureau
of Statistics to embark on a development of a collegiate relationship
and cooperation with the Palestine Bureau of Statistics
