From: melsant@vipac.org Date: Thu 6 Oct 2005 Subject: Support Israel! Stop going soft on PLO terror! (VIPAC) Dear Mr. President: Last week Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice responded to a question at Princeton University about America being soft on Hamas with a carefully crafted statement that was not only soft on Hamas but soft on Palestinian terror in general. Instead of calling on the Palestinian Authority to immediately disarm the terrorists Rice showed understanding for this taking an open-ended period of time. "There are periods of time of transition in which one has to give some space to the participants in this case the Palestinians to begin to come to a new national compact." But in the mean time the Secretary of State stated your administration's position that even while it is still armed and still vowing Israel's destruction Hamas has your permission to run and try to win in Palestinian elections. Mr. President this is a blatant violation of the Oslo Accords which state that: "The nomination of any candidates parties or coalitions will be refused and such nomination or registration will be canceled if such candidates parties or coalitions 1) commit or advocate racism or 2) pursue the implementation of their aims by unlawful non-democratic means.? (http://www.mideastweb.org/intanx2.htm) For your administration to go soft now on Islamic terror in general and Palestinian terror in particular undermines the security of all Americans. A specific current threat of Islamic mass murder against the New York City subway system is RIGHT NOW being confronted by the New York police force and tens of thousands of American civilians. Your administration's expression of understanding of the need "to give some space" to Hamas terrorists could literally blow up in the face of thousands of Americans. Please for the safety of the American public you have sworn to defend end your political and financial support of the Palestinian Arab Authority and the Islamic terrorists it harbors. Sincerely |
