From: MoishB@aol.com Date: 12/10/2001 Subject: Support Israel! Add PLO to US list of terrorist Dear President Bush: I want to thank you and your administration for your condemnation of the terrorist attacks last weekend in Jerusalem and Haifa and your endorsement of Israel's right of self-defense. On 12/2/2001 Palestinian Planning Minister Nabil Shaath was asked during a CNN interview if Arafat's future plans include uprooting Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Shaath was evasive never answering "yes" or "no." Arafat's moment of truth has come and gone and he has sided with the terrorists. Please add the Palestinian Authority to your list of regimes which harbor terrorist organizations. Sincerely ======================================== The President's email: president@whitehouse.gov The Vice President's email: vice.president@whitehouse.gov White House phone: 202-456-1414 Fax: 202-456-2461 Click on "Govt. Email Addresses" at www.vipac.org for other officials. TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Send an email to majordomo@vipac.org with "unsubscribe vipac-letters" in the body of the message. ======================================== Letter regarding the continuing importance of writing letters should follow: Chag Urim Sameach! Happy festival of lights to all VIPAC members! Our membership continues to grow (1964 as of this afternoon) and our grassroots efforts with G-d's help have contributed to the political incentive for the Bush Administration to be more supportive of Israel. But we have much work ahead of us as can be seen from the New York Times of Friday Dec. 7 on page A16 in the article "A Top Egyptian Official Urges Both Sides to Show Restraint." In the middle of that article is the following sentence: "A senior Israeli official said the government had essentially given up on Mr. Arafat but was not prepared to translate that feeling into action in part because the United States has made clear it would disapprove." Actions speak louder than words. The Bush Administration's insistence on continuing its 100 million dollar annual subsidy of Arafat's PLO as well as its refusal to put Arafat and the PLO back where they belong on America's priority list of terrorist organizations are more impressive to Israel (as seen in the article above) and to Arafat than a few token comments about Israel's right of self defense. That is what we have to try and change with our VIPAC campaign and the hour now is more urgent than ever. We should certainly be encouraged at this time of year by the lessons of Channuka when G-d miraculously delivered "the many into the hands of the few." Israel is clearly outgunned outnumbered out-petrodollared and out-geopoliticked by the 100 million Arab Moslems that surround her and wish to destroy her. And our VIPAC membership although it has grown clearly cannot substantially alter the Bush Administration's Middle east policy all on its own. But like the Maccabbees of old we can all do the best we can with the resources available and let G-d take care of the rest. Just as the Maccabbees dared to light a single light even when it seemed pointless because there was not sufficient fuel for the flame to last we at VIPAC can continue to petition our elected leaders to be more supportive of Israel during its hour of need. If we continue sending out our emails faxes and phone calls to Washington on behalf of Israel with G-d's help we can merit to see once again "the miracles that happened in those days at this time." Happy Channuka! Martin Elsant Co-chair Virtual Israel Political Action Commitee |
