FREEMAN CENTER FOR STRATEGIC STUDIES
IS PEACE GOING TO BREAK OUT?
The dangers facing Israel that we have written and faxed you about, are all
still there. The election of Ehud Barak as Israel's new Prime Minister has
not made even the slightest change in the Arab plans to eliminate the Jewish
State from the Middle East. The anti-Semitism of Palestinian radio,
television, newspapers and Islamic sermons is as Nazi like as ever. The goal
of Arafat and his terrorist cohorts to create a new 'Palestine' from the
river to the sea (replacing Israel on the map), has not changed. The use of
PA territory as safe havens for terrorists and the terrorist infrastructure
has not changed. The hostile diplomatic campaign against Israel, now using
the 1947 Partition Resolution, has not ended. The illegal construction by
Arabs on Israeli lands continues unabated. The murder and harassment of Jews
by Arabs in Israel has also continued. The demand from the Arabs and the
Israeli left to ethnically cleanse YESHA is growing louder.
One fact is clear: The election of Barak was supported by the Arab world,
President Clinton, the U.S. State Department and with cheers from Israel's
traditional enemies, including the extreme left.
With friends like these, Israel needs no enemies.....
