From: MElsant@aol.com Date: Sun 18 Nov 2001 Subject: Support Israel's Biblical right to West Bank not PLO's bloody lies! (VIPAC) Dear Mr. President: On November 16 89 Senators signed a letter that they sent to you expressing concern for undue pressure being exerted upon Israel by Secretary Powell. "The American people would never excuse us for not going after the terrorists with all our strength and might" the letter said. "Yet that is what some have demanded of the Israeli government after every terrorist incident they suffer. No matter what the provocation they urge restraint." Clearly the reference is to Secretary Powell and the State Department and the Senators are expressing their disapproval. "There is constant concern about the administration's wavering" said Senator Arlen Specter Republican of Pennsylvania who is one of the 89 Senators who signed that letter. "Powell talks about the cycle of violence that suggests one produces the other and that there is a moral equivalency which is not true. Terrorists killing civilians is totally unjustified and Israel's response is self-defense." Such a strong message of disapproval by so many senators should give your administration pause as you proceed to have Secretary Powell outline an "American" Middle east policy. How American is such a policy when it is opposed by 90% of the Senate? How American is such a policy when it contradicts previous commitments of your administration--such as pledging to Israel that it would not have to negotiate under Yasser Arafat's gun and that you supported Israel's right to at least seven days of complete quiet before negotiations would resume? How American is such a policy when it is repellent to the majority of the American people who wish to rid the world of Islamic terrorism and not create another haven for it in the West Bank and Gaza? Please Mr. President for Israel's sake and for America's sake support Israel's historical and Biblical right to sovereignty in Judea Samaria Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. Stop your current 100 million dollar a year subsidy of the PLO and stop your administration's support for a PLO navy a PLO army a PLO air force of bombers and jet fighters a PLO tank corps a PLO ballistic missile stockpile a PLO foreign policy of open borders to hordes of armed Islamic terrorists--all of which are components of the term "Palestinian State" which your administration reportedly now views favorably. Neither the Senate nor the American people view these items favorably and neither should your administration. That should include Secretary Collin Powell.
