From: MElsant@aol.com Date: Fri 3 Mar 2000 Subject: Support Israel not Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon VIPAC - http://www.vipac.org/ Dear Mr. President: On Feb 17 James Rubin spoke in the name of your State Department and criticized Israel for damaging Lebanese civilian infrastructure even though not a single civilian was killed. Neither Mr. Rubin nor any other member of your administration criticized the Hezbollah terrorists for using the Lebanese civilian population as a human shield for their attacks against Israel. I think the way your administration handled these issues is wrong and cruel. Hezbollah terrorists contrary to the Grapes of Wrath understandings fire upon Israelis from civilian villages. For you to insist that Israel has no right to return fire upon those who are shooting at them makes the Israelis sitting ducks for the murderous Hezbollah. Your administration is compounding the cruel policy of the Hezbollah terrorist by adding your own political shield to the civilian shield the Hezbollah uses. Such an approach makes your administration a political accomplice to the Hezbollah attacks against Israel. When your administration decided to bomb Serbia last year you insisted that our forces do so from a safe distance even though hospitals old age homes foreign embassies and many other civilian targets were inadvertently destroyed and hundreds of civilians were killed as a result. For your administration now to insist that Israelis not be allowed to defend themselves--even when attacked--because of possible civilian damages is an act of hypocrisy of abysmal proportions. Please stop providing political cover for the Hezbollah as they kill Israelis. Please express strong public support for Israel's right to self defense even when attacked by cowardly terrorists who uses civilians for human shield. Please let the world know that when Israel responds to Hezbollah attacks launched from civilian locations that the loss of civilian lives is regrettable but is the sole responsibility of the Hezbollah who chose to turn civilian territories into battle grounds.
