Re.: The next elections and your opportunity, Sir
 

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

Sir, I felt compelled to write you again:

A) in view of the concerted effort of your opponents to bring your government down;

B) of President Bill Clinton revealing himself as a liar in the eyes of the whole world;

C) of the American bombing of terrorist facilities in Afghanistan and Sudan.

These actions of the American President have dealt major trumps into your hands, Sir:

to B) The world’s most powerful leader - a “cowardly” liar about a matter many of his predecessors were also known to have indulged in. It is not his affair that has hurt him, but his emphatic denial of it. In an ABC poll Thursday after the air strikes he got a record low score of 24% when people were asked if they rate him as “honest and trustworthy.” American pollster John Zogby said “the public was embarrassed about Clinton’s admission” and added, “an embarrassed public is dangerous.” People question: has he also lied as emphatically about more important national and/or international matters? America’s pundits condemn his willingness to deceive, and to hold out for seven months before telling the truth, grudgingly. 

Trust in Clinton’s words is at an all-time low.

to C) President Clinton’s address to the nation on U.S. military strikes. He has - with his own words - counteracted his insistence on the Israeli government to bow to terrorist demands of handing over parts of the land of Israel to an organization which has vowed to destroy the State of Israel. The Palestinian Covenant’s stated aim has remained unchanged.

Following are quotes of President Clinton’s address:

“The groups associated with (Bin Laden)... share a hatred of democracy, a fanatical glorification of violence, and a horrible distortion of their religion to justify the murder of innocents... (Bin Laden) vowed to wage a terrorist war against America, saying... ‘We do not differentiate between those dressed in military uniforms and civilians. They are all targets.’”

“Their mission is murder. And their history is bloody.”

Sounds just like the groups associated with Arafat, Hamas¹, Islamic Jihad, Hisbullah, etc., who “vowed to wage a terrorist war against Israel, and who also don’t differentiate between military and civilians.” Indeed, Arafat’s and the PLO’s history is drenched with the blood of murdered innocents! The Lebanese people (and king Hussein) should also remember it all too well!

“America has battled terrorism for many years.”

So has Israel. However, Israel’s actions are routinely labeled “retaliatory,” “evil aggression,” “murderous,” “violation of the peace-process,” etc. The saying “what’s right for the goose is right for the gender,” seems not to apply to Israel.

“We have quietly disrupted terrorist groups and foiled their plots. We have isolated countries that practice terrorism.”

With the exception of the Palestinian “autonomy,” which harbors Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the veteran terrorists of the old PLO renamed PA.”

“...There have been and will be times when law enforcement and diplomatic tools are simply not enough. When our very national security is challenged and when we must take extraordinary steps to protect the safety of our citizens.”

Except for Jews, of course. Israel’s’ “extraordinary steps to protect the safety of her citizens” is to yield more land to those who hate her, to insure national insecurity and weakness instead of sovereign strength and resolve. Once Israelis were admired by the world for and feared by her enemies for the latter. Alas, these were short-lived days of the sovereign Jews. Now we’re back to the self-hating pusillanimous Jews, of whom Shimon Peres, Yossi Sarid and Yossi Beilin have distinguished themselves as leaders.

 “... Bin Laden’s network’s infrastructure ... in Afghanistan ... has served as a training camp for literally thousands of terrorists from around the globe.”

What about Arafat’s “police” and “security forces?” Most of them were also trained in terrorist camps in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Libya? Bin Laden’s organization is evil terror, and Arafat’s “security forces” are benign law enforcers??!!!

“Afghanistan and Sudan have been warned for years to stop harboring and supporting these terrorist groups.”

What about warning (Iran and) Syria, to whom we should cede the Golan, and the PA, to whom we are to add yet another 13.1%, thanks to American insistence?!

“But countries that persistently host terrorists have no right to be safe havens.”

We certainly agree.

“...our actions were aimed at fanatics and killers who wrap murder in the cloak of righteousness, and in so doing, profane the great religion in whose name they claim to act.”

And who, according to President Clinton, are the veteran terrorists of the PLO, Hamas, Hisbulla, etc., who for decades have wrapped murder in the cloak of “Allah Akbar,” the “just armed struggle of the Palestinian people against the imperialist aggressor and occupier, Israel, for the liberation of Palestine,” and a “just and comprehensive peace” in the Middle East, which means the destruction of the State of Israel?

“We will not yield to this threat... we take an uncompromising stand against terrorism.”

Right on! But because of your insistence on Israel’s “uncompromising stand against terrorism” you have been called obstinate, hostile, obstructing the peace-process, deliberately causing it to collapse. Talk about a double standard!

“The risks from inaction to America and the world would be far greater than inaction (of this Mr. Clinton is also sure). For that would embolden our enemies, leaving their ability and their willingness to strike us intact.”

Affirmative! Israeli inaction and submission to U.S. and Euro pressure to satisfy Arab “moderates” has changed Israel’s image of strength to weakness, emboldening our enemies and leaving their ability and willingness to strike us intact.

“But in this day, no campaign for peace can succeed without a determination to fight terrorism... There are no expendable American targets..”

Oho! But Israel must implement the Oslo accords irrespective of Palestinian violations of the agreements, failure to implement them, and continued terror acts against “expendable Israeli targets?!”

“There will be no sanctuary for terrorists. WE WILL DEFEND OUR PEOPLE, OUR INTERESTS AND OUR VALUES.”
