ISRAEL WHITE PAPER

This website is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Howard Grief, a Jerusalem-based lawyer and fierce champion of Israel’s legal rights.

This website, Israel White Paper, is a recreation of the original Israel White Paper website created by Howard Grief in 2006 and will be referred to as the Israel White Paper Website Modernization Project.

  • This site is a work-in-progess
  • This site’s contents for Categories 1 through 8 have been recreated as the URL was last archived by Way Back machine on November 22, 2006.
  • Category 9 is purposefully left blank.
  • Categories 10 and higher will contain new documents that advocate for the legality and legitimacy of Israel.
  • Our long-term goal is to recreate the entire library of documents that Howard Grief compiled to help advocate Israel’s national and political rights.
  • This recreated site has been modernized for visual appeal.
  • If links can not open or if no URL can be found via WayBack Machine, it’s because the original source has not been identified by Wayback Machine; however, the goal is to locate the document with a working URL and insert it into the corresponding category to inform the Israel White Paper Website Modernization Project..
  • Some links may open directly in WayBack Machine.  When that happens, it means the page was archived by the WayBack Machine.  The goal is to also recreate those archived pages as brand new pages on this site.
  • Documents that are linked to WayBack Machine but do not open or have been found elsewhere on other sites, will be republished here with “UPDATED YEAR” notation.
  • The owner(s) of this site receive no funding from anyone nor any entity nor does this site make any earnings; this is simply a Website Modernization Project made with profound love for HaShem and Israel and respect for the late Howard Grief’s efforts to defend the legitimate and sovereign nation of Israel.

1. PUBLICATION INDEX

Our long-term category goal is to compile exhaustive publication lists for all sources in the print and electronic media related to Israel’s national and political rights. It will also indicate all important reprints, and include pinpoint citations for sources of only selective value. Authors who are highlighted have a law degree, though they might not necessarily be specialists in the relevant area of law.

2. CORE OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS

Category is limited to official documents related to Israel’s national rights that are legally binding according to the various approaches of legal authorities who support Israel’s rights to its homeland. It also has legitimate international compacts that are often-cited but are not directly relevant to Israel’s national rights.

3. LEGAL RIGHTS UNDER INTERNATIONAL, AMERICAN, AND ISRAELI LAW

Quote from Eugene V. Rostow (died on November 25, 2002, from his last letter on the subject to the N.Y. Times)

He says I am “virtually alone” in believing that Israel’s legal claim to those territories is stronger than that of any other possible claimant . . .

4. FALLACY OF ``OCCUPATION``

Category refutes the applicability of the term “occupation” in a restrictive or broader sense to Israel. The first article provides historical background for the subject.

5. LEGAL ANALYSIS OF CURRENT AFFAIRS

Category is limited to official documents related to Israel’s national rights that are legally binding according to the various approaches of legal authorities who support Israel’s rights to its homeland. It also has legitimate international compacts that are often-cited but are not directly relevant to Israel’s national rights.

6. SUBJECT INDEX

Our long-term category goal is to index detailed subject headings of lasting value for all credible works in the print and electronic media that support Israel’s rights to its homeland or serve to document its obfuscation by public officials. The entries for this category on the homepage cycle downward as new ones become available.

7. LIES OF THE ARABS, THE WESTERN WORLD, AND THE MEDIA

Category exposes and counters the duplicity and ignorance surrounding Israel’s national rights.

8. HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS

Category is organized in chronological order. It contains historical documents and works about history that relate to Israel’s national rights. It also contains works that project future developments.
