From: melsant@vipac.org Date: Fri 8 Jun 2007 Subject: [Vipac-letters] Support Israel: End the Double Standard Sender: vipac-letters-bounces@vipac.org Errors-To: vipac-letters-bounces@vipac.org Dear Mr. President: In an article in Frontpagemagazine.com entitled =93Terror and Double Standards=94 Jacob Laksin sites the almost universal condemnation of Arab terror groups occupying a Lebanese settlement: =93=85 the Arab League=85has leapt to defend Lebanon's right to act against terror. To that end it has issued a statement in which it =91strongly condemned the criminal and terrorist acts carried out by the terrorist group known as Fatah al-Islam.=92 In addition the league has pledged to =91give its full support to the efforts of the army and the Lebanese government to impose security and stability=92 in Lebanon even promising military assistance the Lebanese army.=94 This response is in stark contrast to the Arab Leagues response to =93=85 the Israeli army=92s counteroffensive last summer against Hezbollah. Triggered by the Lebanese terrorist group=92s illicit capture of Israeli soldiers its naked violation of Israeli sovereignty and its ceaseless shelling of northern Israel the war made the Jewish state into an object of international vituperation. For daring to defend herself against terror Israel not for the first time was all but banished from the society of civilized nations.=94 World hypocrisy is at an all time high. Condemnation of a democratic country as it responds to murderous attacks against its citizens. Silence in the face of Arab genocide in Darfur. British academia boycotting Israeli scholars in protest against Israeli attempts to end violence against its citizens. In the last twenty four hours at least 4 rockets were launched against Israeli cities from Arab Gaza. The World is silent! I urge you to support Israel in the face of World condemnation. The =93Double Standard=94 is a form of terror itself. Respectfully yours =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The President's email: comments@whitehouse.gov.
