Dear Mr. Pipes: As you know, there are two sides to every coin.
Blanket carte blanche support of Israel in pretending non-terrorist
Palestinians do not exist will continue to inflame the region and may
lead to a horrible future for Israeli and Palestinian citizens alike.
I consider the linkage by Sharon, Netanyahu and others of the War
on Terrorism with what is happening in Israel is not far afield of Usama
bin Laden's attempt to do that to justify his own "cause." They are two totally
separate issues. Israel's continued 35-year occupancy and martial law
of those areas cannot continue forever. Israelis and modern Palestinians
must learn to bury the hatchet and get along--as Jews and Muslims
have done all over the Middle East for centuries. That will mean compromises
on both sides. Peace will never come unless that is obtained, only disaster.
It's a no-brainer. Regards,
Steve Singleton
