From: MElsant@aol.com Date: Sat 9 Feb 2002 Subject: Support Israel! Shut down terrorist PLO UN Mission! (VIPAC) Dear Mr. President: Your policy of cutting off funding to regimes that harbor terrorists is a correct one. You should apply it to Yasser Arafat's PLO which harbors Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and which recently conspired with Iran (which you correctly named as part of the "axis of evil" threatening the United States) to smuggle 50 tons of illegal weapons aboard the Karine A. You should stop your administration's 100 million dollar annual subsidy of the PLO and cut off all diplomatic contacts with it. As a first step you can issue an executive order which does not require any Congressional or judicial review declaring the PLO to be what its actions have proven it to be--a terrorist entity. This will facilitate the legislation currently under consideration in New York City to shut down the PLO UN Mission in New York. Bin Laden and his Al Qaida group would not be permitted to have an official police-protected diplomatic mission in Manhattan. Arafat and his terrorist PLO deserve the same treatment. Councilman Oliver Koppell has already presented to the New York City Council a resolution requesting the federal government to declare the PLO a terrorist group. As of 2/5/02 the resolution is cosponsored by members Tony Avella Leroy Comrie Bill DeBlasio Simcha Felder Lewis Fidler Dennis Gallagher Alan Gerson Martin Golden Andrew Lanza Michael Nelson James Oddo Domenic Recchia and David Weprin. Please Mr. President listen to the growing chorus of pleas by your fellow Americans to be consistent and thorough in your war for enduring freedom and to give no free pass to the terrorism and cruel bloodshed perpetrated by Arafat and his PLO. If you will not do so for the sake of innocent Israelis then do so for the sake of innocent Americans--for at this moment increasing numbers of Al Qaida operatives are reported to have found haven in Arafat's safe harbors for terrorism.
