From: moishb@vipac.org Date: Tue 15 Jul 2003 Subject: (VIPAC) Support Israel: No Reward for Continuing Arab Terror!! Dear Sir: In 1958 the late author Leon Uris published his best selling historical novel “Exodus”. In this book Uris wrote about the Arab terror war in Palestine against the British and the Jews between 1936 and 1939. He described the results of this Arab war on page 300: “The Arab revolt petered out and died. It had been a miserable and costly failure. The Arabs had bankrupted their entire community and murdered their foremost spokesmen. Three years of riots and bloodshed had put them on the brink of destitution. In all that time they did not displace a single Jewish settlement or keep some fifty new ones from going up.” Over sixty years later we see the same tactics being used by the Arabs. The murder of hundreds of innocent Jewish and Arab civilians the destitution of the Arab masses in the face of economic hardship and the failure of the terror to impact on the desire of the Jews to live in their Homeland. We cannot make any concessions to Arab terror. We cannot allow the murder and mayhem that the Arabs have brought to the Middle East result in a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan River. As America pushes the so called Road Map to Peace the Arabs are still kidnapping Israeli civilians rioting against pollsters and defiling the basic principles of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If we want to achieve peace in the Middle East we cannot allow an Arab state within Israel. I urge you to support Israel in its hour of need. Respectfully yours |
