From: melsant@vipac.org Date: Fri 29 Dec 2006 Subject: Support Israel! End US Arms embargo of Jewish State! (VIPAC) Dear Mr. President: Quoting "Israeli and U.S. sources" MENL reports that the State Department has blocked the transfer of weapons and technology to Israel over the past three months reflecting deteriorating relations between the two countries since the war in Lebanon in August of this year. This MENL report is credible given the current number of anti-Israel positions your administration publicly advocates. The New York Times reported on December 28 in article by Helene Cooper that your administration "Scolds Israel on plan for West Bank Settlement." This "scolding" was not even balanced by any pro-forma criticism of Palestinian Arab rocket fire from Gaza. Furthermore you have personally repeated your call for a Palestinian Arab State in Israel's Biblical heartland. You continue to do this despite the support of the vast majority of those Palestinian Arabs for their democratically elected Hamas government which unabashedly calls for the destruction of all of Israel. Similarly you continue to applaud when Israel succumbs to your persistent pressure to ease travel restrictions on Palestinian Arab suicide bombers. You do so even though the West Bank checkpoints you oppose are repeatedly catching Palestinian Arab terrorists with suicide belts on their way to fulfill their murderous missions in Jewish communities. Please end your administration's quiet arms embargo of Israel. Please end your public support for a PLO state in Israel's Biblical heartland. As America faces its own war for survival against Islamic terror we can ill afford to abandon Israel. Undermining Israeli security for the applause of Arab terrorists is not only immoral but impractical as well. Since Israel is the only American ally willing to send large numbers--hundreds of thousands--of its own sons and daughters to the front lines of this global war for survival against Islamic terror American security suffers as Israel security suffers. Sincerely |
