| An insensed American. Steve Watkins 19 Apr 2002 Dear Mr. Netanyahu, I hope this e-mail reaches you because I want you to be encouraged. I am a non-Jewish American and I served as a US Navy SEAL for six years (SEAL Team 5 - 87-93). I was in the platoon that carried out the widely publicized "diversion of Iraqi troops" in the Gulf War under the command of Lt. Tom Deitz. I was accepted to SEAL Team Six (now Devgroup) but did not renew my enlistment in order to pursue college and graduate school. I also love Israel. I have a love and passion for the Jewish people and the Israeli state that I really can't explain. I think it is as strong, maybe stronger, than my love for America. I am at the point of pulling my hair out with the insulting and degrading way in which our President and his administration have been treating Israel. I support Bush, voted for him, and think him to be a decent and morally upright man. It makes me madder than anything Clinton ever did, because I expected him to speak out of both sides of his mouth-but Bush's hypocrisy is just dumbfounding. Fighting terrorists in Afghanistan in the name of freedom (and rightly so) and then pressuring Israel to stand and "do as we say, not as we do" is absolutely the height of hypocrisy. I am ashamed at our nation, which I have risked my life to defend. I know a little of why pressure is so great on the US to be "cool" in all of this. But I fear that, as you have articulated so eloquently, we are in for an insane and treacherous future if we don't act now and with an unflinching resolve. Is there anything I can do to express my discontentment to our administration? If so what? Feel free to share my humble e-mail with any people of political influence. My apologies to you and to the wonderful people of Israel-my favorite vacation spot in all of the world. Shalom Steve Watkins |
