From: Martin Berkowitz moshb@juno.com Date: Thu 13 Jan 2000 Subject: VIPAC _ Support Israel Dear Sir: The world looks upon the President of the United States as a guidepost of reason and right. In the current round of negotiations between Israel and Syria there appears to be a significant amount of reluctance on the part of Syria to commit itself to peace. The Prime Minister of Israel on the other hand is ready to give away the world in exchange for a peace treaty. The risk to both Barak and the creditability of our government is that unless the Syrians demonstrate to the Israeli public a readiness for peace no matter what is agreed upon at Shepherdstown the Israeli electorate will not buy into the deal. If you have ever been to the Golan Heights in Israel and looked down upon the valleys of Hula and Galilee you will see the vulnerability of the entire northern part of Israel. The Israeli public must be assured that Syria is sincere before it will chance a peace agreement that requires its abandoning the Golan a part of biblical and modern Israel. Barak releases terrorist prisoners in the hopes of hearing about Israeli MIAs and Syria is silent. Barak pressures his people to accept a peace. Syria makes no such steps. The Syrians won't even shake the hands of the Israelis. The Israelis have much more to lose than face if the "peace " with the Syrians fail. And without concrete expressions of sincerity from Syria they will not accept a treaty. America and Barak stand to lose much if the peace agreement is not accepted by the Israeli public. We must force the Syrians to make positive concessions toward peace or else we will be the losers. Syrian must release the Israeli MIA's provide normal relations with Israel and convince their people that peace is in their interest. Until that happens we will be wasting our time in Shepherdstown.
