From: MElsant@aol.com Date: Sun 31 Mar 2002 Subject: Thanks for supporting Israel but don't waffle on Arafat's guilt! (VIPAC) --part1_48.921bc07.29d8e9fa_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Mr. President: Thank you for supporting Israel in your recent comments at Crawford Texas on March 30. You were right on target courageously so when you said: "I fully understand Israel's need to defend herself; I respect that. It's a country that has seen a wave of suicide bombers coming to the heart of her cities and killing innocent people. And that country has a right to defend herself." That is why I find it inexplicable and indefensible that within 24 hours of your making the above remarks your administration voted for a UN Security Council resolution demanding that Israel withdraw its troops from Ramallah. How can Israel defend herself against Arafat's terrorism if you insist on granting Arafat a safe harbor in Ramallah? Indeed as the New York Times reported on March 31 on page A10 regarding your administration's support of this UN resolution "This was the second American vote in the Council within a month that took a position considered tough on Israel and in today's case at odds with comments from Washington." Please stop supporting UN resolutions that criticize Israel for defending itself. Please stop insisting that Arafat be granted a safe harbor for Islamic terrorism anywhere including Ramallah. Please congratulate Israel for every one of Arafat's terrorists that it kills or captures instead of issuing morally bankrupt complaints regretting the loss of life on all sides. The loss of life of Islamic terrorists is a laudable strategic goal for which American soldiers are risking their own lives on the battlefields of Afghanistan. It should not be equated--in either your administration's rhetoric or UN resolutions--with the cruel suffering of the victims of Islamic terror.
