Sell Out Of Israel

The White House announced on September 10, 2000 that Bill Clinton has
asked Yasser Arafat to refrain from declaring Palestine statehood during
the following two months. The act of declaring statehood would allow
Palestine to take a place among all the other countries and also apply
for a seat in the United Nations (UN).

The timing is indeed significant as September 13, 2000 was the deadline
for coming to a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians as
was agreeed upon in the Oslo peace accords that was negotiated by
Clinton in 1993.

In striving to meet the terms of the accord and achieving peace, the
State of Israel has given back to the Palestinians and Syrians all the
land which was won during the 1967 war except for East Jerusalem.
Included in the give back was the militarily strategic Golan Heights.

Arafat also wants the return to Israel of two million Palestinian
refugees.

In return, Israel received from the Oslo accord a promise on paper that
Israel has the right to exist as a nation, and also the promise of an
effort by Palestinian leadership to quell the anti-Israel sentiment.

However, the Palestinian national anthem still calls for the destruction
of Israel, a call that has not been removed in the last seven years. On
May 15, 2000, the anniversary of Israel's independence, Palestinian
children were once again seen in the streets carry machine guns and
shouting, "Death to Israel."

To this day, Israel is not found on any maps that are in the hands of
Palestinian school children.

Some time after September 13, Arafat and the Palestinians will declare
that the Oslo accord is null and void by virtue of not having received
all that was promised. It is also not known if Arafat can put off
statehood for the additional two months as requested by Clinton.
Septemeber 13 is a day that Palestinians have been looking forward to
for seven years, and Arafat may not be able to control the enthusiasm of
the Palestinians for statehood.

Now that we have seen Hillary Clinton embrace Arafat's wife moments
after Arafat's wife publically accused Israel of deliberately plotting
genocide against Palestinian children, we realize that Arafat and the
Palestinians never had any intention of quelling anti-Israel sentiment.

That sentiment among the Palestinians has indeed been fanned by Arafat
and used over the years to gain more concessions from Israel. Israel had
hoped to gain peace by allaying Palestinian sentiments with their
concessions, but, in return, Israel has received only empty promises and
now rising hostility.

The Palestinians will shortly find themselves engaged in a "war of
rising expectations," which is simply a war in which it is perceived
that a goal will be gained and that other expectations and goals could
also be met. Thus the passions of the people are so aroused that the
people then rise to war.

As a result, the present violence by the Palestinians will soon develop
into calls for both statehood and the destruction of Israel.

Shortly after acheiving statehood, the government of Palestine will
announce that it is no longer obligated to recognize Israel's position
as a state because the Palestinians had not received all that was
agreed, and will then demand the return of two million Arab refugees who
will want to re-enter Israel with guns in hand.

At some point in time we will once again see artillery on the Golan
Heights and the return of Arab tanks to the West Bank.

Joe Lieberman, when asked what he would do if war was on the horizon for
Israel, replied that  he would seek the help of the UN.

However, the Russians, who recently were humiliated when their ally,
Serbia, was reduced to a sub-third world nation by the concerted effort
of the United States and NATO, is not about to turn their backs on their
Arab allies.

Joe Lieberman seems oblivious to the fact that Russia has veto power in
the UN and will use that power to to defend the Arabs from any UN action
that would hinder Arab goals.

In addition, China also has UN veto power and vested financial interests
in Iraq, Iran and Libya. In addition to selling to those countries
nuclear capabilities, China also has U.S. missle technology to sell
which they purchased from Loral Corp after the Clinton Administration
chose to release that technology to China in exchange for campaign
contributions.

As far as Clinton's domestic political agenda is concerned, September 13
was set by him seven years ago to be the day for announcing peace in the
Middle East. It would certainly have been a great announcement to help
Al Gore get elected, but now, instead of having peace, we are faced with
the prospect of war.

The two month delay which Clinton has asked of Arafat would put
Palestinian statehood off until after the elections, hopefully delaying
the obvious realization that the "peace process," which was patterned
after Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Germany, was a monumental
failure.
