From: moishb@vipac.org Date: Thu 18 Aug 2005 Subject: VIPAC - Support Israel: No More Israeli Concessions Until the Dear Mr. President: I am concerned about our government’s continuing support of the Palestinian Arabs in their war against Israel. Despite years of promises the Palestinian Arabs have not been true to their pledge to stop incitement against Israel. The recent Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is but the latest of a long list of concessions made by Israel without any corresponding responses from the Arabs. Arab promises to stop terrorist and murder attacks incitement in schools and the press and to end the economic boycott have failed to materialize in deed and action. The recent expose regarding the use of United Nations funds to finance Palestinian Arab propaganda campaigns including the production of materials bearing the inciteful slogan “Today Gaza Tomorrow the West Bank and Jerusalem” is a continuation of the world-wide effort to dismantle the Jewish state. The support of this Palestinian Arab effort to continue the war against Israel is counterproductive to the achievement of peace in the Middle East and in our own war against terror within the United States. The increasing popularity of Hamas a terrorist murder organization located in Palestinian Arab control territories has been the response to the concessions by Israel. Palestinian Arab belief that terrorist attacks have contributed to the Israeli withdrawal have only encouraged more terrorist operations. As an editorial in The New York Sun (August 18 2005) states “The answer is going to have to come from mosques and schools that don’t preach hate from independent Arab Palestinian newspapers and radio stations that don’t preach hate from Palestinian Arab courts that are impartial and fair… The challenge for Washington to focus on in the coming months and years will not be to wrest more territorial concessions out of Israel but to wrest a free and democratic society out of the Palestinian Arabs.” Until there is a movement of Palestinian Arab and world Arab policies away from incitement and terrorist activity the concessions made by Israel will bring further bloodshed. I urge you to stop our government’s support of the Palestinian Terrorist Authority. Forcing Israel to make one sided concessions is not the way to peace. It is time for the Palestinian Arabs to make moves for peace. Respectfully yours |
