From: moshb@juno.com Date: Wed 19 May 1999 Subject: VIPAC - Support Israel Dear Sir: The recent Israeli elections have brought to power a centrist leader Ehud Barak who will hopefully have the ability to bring the will of the entire Israeli people to the negotiating table. It would be a timely move on the part of our government to carry out an act of encouragement by fulfilling the desire of our Congress and moving our Embassy to the holy city of Jerusalem. The entire population of Israel is conscious that their capital city is under attack. The holiest places of the Jewish religion are located in the City. For thousands of years Jewish access was restricted. For the 19 years of Jordanian Arab occupation Jews were denied access to their religious sites in the Arab occupied portion of the city. During the same period Christians weren't permitted to acquire property were forced to include Moslem teachings in Christian schools and mosques were constructed next to churches. There were 58 synagogues that were desecrated or destroyed. Jewish religious objects were used in the construction of stables and latrines. There is a persistent fear among Israelis that the Arab barbarism practiced in the past will be repeated. The Arab acts of thirty years ago are being repeated today in the territories they control. Christians in Bethlehem and other cities are being forced out. Our country must do its part to allay Israeli fears that the past will be repeated. As a start we must carry out the desires of the Congress and the American People and move our embassy to Jerusalem immediately. I implore you to carry out the will of the People and support Israel. Very truly yours ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
