This is Arafats war
Joel Plofsky 17 Apr 2002
They would like you to believe that the suicide attacks are the last
act of
desperate individuals.
This could not be farther from the truth. This war has nothing to do
with
land or occupation.
Israelis know that Palestinians are suffering and feel that the
occupation
must end. Yasser Arafat was offered a deal that would have ended the
occupation and created a Palestinian state on 98% of the land. He
walked
away from the offer without even making a counter-offer, and then began
sending suicide bombers into Israel.
This war is about hatred and religion.
If the suicide attacks were the last act of desperate of individuals
they,
would occur randomly. Have you ever noticed that these attacks always
occur
on Jewish holidays and at Jewish occasions?
This war is a very well orchestrated attempt by Yasser Arafat to
destroy the
State of Israel, beginning with those things that are most sacred.
Yasser Arafat is waging one of the most immoral wars in the history of
man.
He has taken everything innocent about the Palestinian people and
turned it
into a weapon. He has sent suicide bombers in ambulances, sent
pregnant
women and even children to their violent deaths. The targets of these
vicious attacks are the most defenseless individuals, such as a twelve
year-old girl at her Bat-Mitzvah, and group of elderly Jews sitting
down to
a Passover meal.
Yasser Arafat appears on Palestinian TV calling for children to give up
their toys because it’s time for war against the Jews. In another TV
spot a
child says “please don’t cry for me mommy, I’m going to martyr myself
against the evil Jews.
The Palestinians may not realize it today, but history will show that
Arafat
has led them to nothing but despair.
· He turned down a deal that would have created a Palestinian state by
now
on 97% of the land. They would already have a county and a peaceful
life,
free from occupation.
· He has collected hundreds of millions of dollars from other countries
in
support of the Palestinian cause. Instead of trying to improve the
lives of
the Palestinian people, he has spent it all on the weapons of terror.
· The leaders of his terror network operate in communities where
innocent
Palestinians live. Bomb making factories and terrorist training
centers
were found in the same buildings where innocent families live.
· He has sent Palestinian children to violent deaths. If you have seen
interviews with the families of suicide bombers, it is evident that
they did
not want their child to be used as martyrs.
The Israeli army is made up of young courageous men who wish to bring
peace
to Israel. They have a responsibility to the limit the movements of
Arafat’s terrorists, track them down, and bring them to justice. It is
very
unfortunate that any actions taken to limit the movements of
terrorists,
track them down, and bring them to justice have had a negative, and
sometimes harmful, affect upon innocent Palestinians.
Yasser Arafat is calling all the shots in this war, and innocent people
on
both sides are paying the price.
