...past. Egypt, a member of America’s “anti-terror” coalition, and Syria, a U.S. ally during the Persian Gulf War 10 years ago, chose Yom Kippur 1973 as the appropriate day on which to launch an extensive combined assault on Israel??s northern and southern borders. Warring Muslim nations have not traditionally established ceasefires during their own holy month either. In the nearly decade-long war between Iran and Iraq, fighting occurred without pause during Ramadan each year...
...deplore the failure of the PA to cooperate with Israel on this matter and support Israel??s demands that the Palestinians hand over the criminals for trial in Israel. In light of Arafat’s failure to arrest and imprison those terrorists who find sanctuary under his regime, we support Israel??s ability to seek out those responsible for the attack. Israel has a right to defend its citizens, especially given that the PA seems to have little interest in combating terrorism...

We believe that Israel??s actions must adhere to basic principles of human rights and must respect the safety and property of civilians not involved in terrorism. Nevertheless, Israel has as much right as the United States to protect its citizens from terror...

Ze’evi’s assasination, however, is different from any action that Israel has taken against the PFLP in self-defense. By murdering a democratically elected politician, the PFLP set itself against not only Israel but every democratically elected government...
America, of course, holds a great deal of leverage over Israel, and the planes and helicopters that maintain Israel??s military advantage were made in the USA. Congress gives over $2.8 billion to Israel every year. To young Palestinians growing up in squalid refugee camps, the injustice must seem unbearable. They know that Israel conquered the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 and have yet to return them in conformance with U.N. Resolution 242, building settlements all the while. Some of these Palestinians had a parent who was killed at Sabra or Shatila; they may even have known...
