From: moishb@vipac.org Date: Thu 10 Aug 2006 Subject: Support Israel: Israel is fighting with us in our war against Dear Mr. President: Thank you very much for your continuing support of Israel in its war against Hezbollah and Hamas terrorists. The recent plot to destroy civilian aircraft traveling to America that was uncovered by British intelligence agents is an outgrowth of the wars in the Middle East and in Iraq. Stopping terror throughout the World must be our short term goal. Security and prosperity cannot flourish under the specter of terrorism. Doron Almog former head of the IDF Southern Command in 2000-2003 in the August 11th edition of the Jerusalem Post compares the Israeli abandonment of its positions in Lebanon in 2000 with the disengagement from Gaza in 2005. “In both cases Israel gave up 100 percent of the territory. In both cases the territory that was evacuated was taken over by terrorist organizations - Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in south Lebanon. In both cases the IDF withdrawal was perceived as proof of Israel's weakness and the lack of its society's resilience… In both cases the areas evacuated by the IDF became an increasingly sophisticated repository for rockets and other arms. In Gaza the main source of the arms is the smuggling route from Egypt and in Lebanon active assistance in arming Hezbollah with weapons is provided by Syria and Iran.” Rewarding Arab terror by withdrawing from contested territory has only promoted more terror. There can be no further concessions to the Arabs without concurrent concessions from the Arabs. Handing over land and other “presents” to the Arab has only strengthened terror. In Lebanon Hezbollah spent 6 years building a platform to attack Israel. In Gaza the Arab population rewarded Israeli concessions by bringing the Hamas terrorists to power. It is time to take back these “presents” and end the terror. Thank you very much for your continued support of Israel an important partner in our war against terror.
