Dear Colleagues:
We were overflowed by near to hundred signatories on this petition, and we
cannot anymore manage it. Thus, we suggested you send any additional
protest directly to the Israeli authorities.
Thank you a lot.

As a 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.
I call you return immediately all census-related documents and computer
files, and to provide some form of restitution.
As a positive measure, I 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
