From: moishb@vipac.org Date: Thu 22 May 2003 Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Support_Israel:_Without_Sincere_Arab_Efforts_Toward_Peace_A_=93Road_Map=94_to_Disaster_(VIPAC)?= Dear Sir: I am extremely concerned at your insistence that Israel accept the so called “Road Map for Peace” before the Arabs make serious confidence building steps. Although Israel took some small steps to ease the Arab situation in Judea and Samaria without compromising the security of its citizens the Palestinians launched a new wave of attacks. The pattern of disaster is continuing. Every time the Israelis make a concession the Arabs respond with increased violence. Rewarding this Arab behavior with concessions is counter-productive. It is not Sharon and Israel that should be making confidence building gestures. Abu Mazen the Holocaust denier is the one who needs to build the confidence of the Israelis. He needs to take action to destroy the terrorists. I'm sure you have noticed that incitement to kill Israelis and to destroy the State of Israel has not ended. There is no movement by educators to take the incitement out of palestinian text books. It's time to stop asking Israel to make concessions and instead put the onus squarely on the palestinians where it belongs. Arafat is still in charge of the terrorist groups. Despite the appointment of a palestinian prime minister Arafat has remained in charge of the security agencies of the palestinian Authority. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are still openly calling for the fighting against Israel to continue. Shouldn't these groups be destroyed? Shouldn't Arafat be removed as Saddam Hussein was? Why the double standard with regard to the terrorism that Israel faces? I urge you to support Israel in its war against the Arabs. Until the Arabs show a sincere effort toward peace the “Road Map” will only lead to more bloodshed and disaster. Respectfully yours Thanks to Efrem L. for assistance with this letter. |
