From: MoishB@aol.com Date: Sun 13 Jan 2002 Subject: Support Israel: The Facts Do Not Lie - We Must Not Ignore Arab Terrorism Dear Sir: The European Edition of the Wall Street Journal recently published an editorial regarding the Arab shipment of millions of dollars of armaments in violation of the agreement signed with Israel in Oslow. The editorial was critical of certain American officials who were reluctant to acknowledge the duplicity of the Palestinian Arab Authorities and Yasir Arafat in this matter. The editorial concluded with the following: "'Facts' Aldus Huxley once remarked "do not cease to exist because they are ignored.' The fact is the Palestinian Authority remains a terrorist organization and the longer Messrs. Solana and Powell ignore this the longer they'll have to live with the problem." It is imperative that the American Government the European Union and other World authorities acknowledge that Arafat and the Arabs cannot be trusted. They have had eight years to prove that their people were ready to accept Israel. They refuse to accept anything less than the destruction of that State and its people. As such we can have no sympathy for them. An op-ed article appeared in The New York Times on January 13 2002 written by Yoel Esteron managing editor of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. Esteron wrote about the small piece of paper he received from his father the sole survivor of his family from European Holocaust. "That piece of paper was the only evidence that my father was the legal owner of a large house in the town of Hrubieshow in eastern Poland. I never saw the house and probably never will. My father heard that a pharmacy had been built in its place. He never wanted to go back there to that place so permeated with pain. Perhaps he was afraid to. I still feel that the house belongs to my family although we will never return to that life. My father's story is not unique. My mother also lost her family and her home. Most Israelis are refugees or the children of refugees from Poland Germany and Russia Morocco Iraq Syria and other places." The Israelis cannot go back. The Arabs must face it that they cannot go back either. They must be assimilated into the existing Arab countries. Just like Israel assimilated those Jews who fled persecution in the Arab countries including Egypt Syria Iraq and Iran; so too must the existing Arab countries take responsibility for their brethren. Until the Arabs begin to do their share for peace there will be none. It is time to put pressure on the Arabs to do bring in their people from out of despair. It's not the job of Israel to look after the Jewish refugees of the world and the Arabs too.
