'Look, here are the facts: Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said the
day he took office that he would not negotiate a final settlement with
the Palestinians. And during his entire time in office, he has refused
to meet with Yasser Arafat and has engaged in a campaign to discredit
Arafat and to break the spirit of the Palestinians. When the Saudi
peace plan was proposed, he rejected it immediately. Israel, he said
and still says, will never withdraw to the 1967 boundaries. Well, no
withdrawal, no peace; no peace....'
Und noch ein bisschen weiter im Text, geschrieben uebrigens von einem
amerikanischen Konservativen, Antiamerikanismus unlikely:
We are in the beginning of payback time for our hypocritical policy of
exempting Israel from every one of the ideals that we laboriously
preach. Self-determination is a must for Albanians in Kosovo - not for
Palestinians. Refugees have a right to return or receive compensation -
but not Palestinian refugees. Countries must obey U.N. Security Council
resolutions - but not Israel, which sits in defiance of more than 60.
Countries that routinely violate human rights deserve sanctions -
except Israel. Countries that assassinate political enemies are state
sponsors of terrorism - but not Israel.
Countries must not use American-donated weapons for offensive purposes
- except for Israel. People who commit war crimes must be put on trial
- unless they are Israelis.
I could go on and on, for the sins against the Palestinians are
practically endless. Americans are about to learn a basic truth
enunciated by writer Ayn Rand: We can avoid reality, but we cannot
avoid the consequences of avoiding reality....
