MIf the PLO claimed that Jews eat Christians for Passover, would that be enough to convince you that Oslo is a sham and the PLO has no interest in peace? Suppose the PLO blamed the Jews for poisoning Arab wells and causing a deadly epidemic (moving the PLO forward into the 14th century)? Would that convince you? 

Well, the PLO IS spreading precisely that sort of medieval Anti-Semitic blood libel. It is charging that Jews are intentionally spreading AIDS among Palestinian babies. The PLO's official representative to the UN, Nabil Ramlawi, submitted a formal complaint to the UN Commission on Human Rights, charging that Israel injected 300 Palestinian babies with HIV virus during the intifada. (Jerusalem Post April 11, 1977).M

One Middle East “expert”, interviewed by CNN said, “America [President Clinton] should never have ‘allowed’ Mr. Netanyahu to continue the settlement policy and the ‘freedom’ of  stalling with the withdrawals.” What arrogance! Israel is a sovereign nation with a democratically elected leader, who is not “Mr.” Netanyahu, but Prime Minister Netanyahu. It is the responsibility and duty of every head of state - including Israel’s - to safeguard the security and welfare of his citizens first. 

Beset by the liberal left from within, and by leading world powers, the Arab states and Media from without, Netanyahu has been fighting for the survival of his government since his election. Such undermining has not remained without effect on Israeli leaders, who strive to please the “omni-potent” American President, and thereby weaken the people and nation of Israel. 

YThe Israeli left blames Yigal Amir ^O - the latexPrime Minister Yitzchaq Rabin’sassassin - for early elections, which led to Labor's defeat. They actually consider the premiership as having been stolen from them and Netanyahu to be an illegitimate Prime Minister - so claimed by Leah Rabin - despite the fact that he received 11% more votes than did Peres, who admitted that a majority of Israelis opposed Oslo (while negotiating it). 

The recent resignations from Netanyahu’s government (e.g. David Levy ^P) and threats of leaving the coalition are not indicative of Netanyahu’s failure as Prime Minister. Rather, they are attempts to ‘politically assassinate’ the Prime Minister and replace him with one who will return to the disastrous policies of the previous government, and the prospect of national suicide. 

Amir took the law into his own hands, killing Rabin. This has been condemned by everyone. This attempt to “politically” assassinate  Netanyahu, however, is being initiated by people holding the most senior public offices at the highest levels of government. In other words, this is nothing less than “an attempted coup.”⁸Y
 

Five times the Lord had me warn PM Netanyahu not to fear President Clinton, nor Arafat,  nor President Mubarak and king Hussein, nor any man, because as long as Netanyahu would stand firm on G-d’s oath, G-d Himself would vindicate him. But should he look to men like king Saul did, instead of to the Holy One of Israel, and break the inviolable covenant by ceding yet more land, it would lead to his ruin in shame and disgrace, neither would the people mourn him. 

Thanks to the thousands of people praying for him and for Israel, PM Netanyahu seems to be heeding G-d’s words. 

By all legal standards Israel can declare the Oslo Accords no longer binding, since the PA^Z has not yet changed - and never will - the Palestinian Covenant calling for the destruction of the State of Israel. (Neither will the PA stop Hamas from committing heinous attacks; nor diminsh their police force, nor halt building their Gaza airport, nor cease smuggling weapons, etc. etc.). That Israel has not done so is due to American pressure and threats to annul foreign aid. While Egypt’s debt was revoked, and Jordan’s turned into a grant in “reward” for signing the Peace Treaty with Israel, Israel’s debt was neither cancelled nor turned into a grant in reward for signing with Egypt and Jordan. Rather, demand after demand is heaped on Israel’s government, accompanied by threats and ultimatums. 

J⁹ In an effort to appease the Islamic nations of the regions, U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, gave new meaning to the term: moral equivalency. Building homes and bombing Jews are morally equal. Jews of Israel may not build homes in their capital of Jerusalem so that Arafat may claim this city for his own capital - as he has so often proclaimed: "Jerusalem as the capital ONLY of the Palestinian State, and anyone who doesn't like it can go drink Gaza Sea water."L
 

All of this has led to a grave split within our nation and among our leaders because one group wants to bow to American demands and “please” the PA, Egyptian President Mubarak, Syrian dictator Hafez Al-Assad and Jordanian king Hussein; while the other group insists on keeping the land for reasons of both security and faith, and pleasing G-d rather than man. 

tThis reminds us of the story of two Jews in front of a firing squad. When asked if they want a blindfold, one Jew says: "Go to Hell."  The other says, "What, are you crazy?  Do you want to make them mad?"t

Thus the twain shall never meet. An intolerable atmosphere exists, splitting the Knesset, the parties and people, even family and friends. 
 
 

Z The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics is just one of the PA's many branches, all of which feature the entire land MAP of Israel as their "Palestine" - "from the river to the sea" -, covered with the colors of their flag. They will never be satisfied with "only" the West Bank for their state. It is all of Israel or nothing, as Arafat demonstrated frequently.
