Subject: RE: BS: Arab victim of Palestinian terrorism
Carol. I did not imply that there is anything wrong with a trailer. I kind of like that type of life myself. On vacations I used to rent an RV and travel around the country to various Bluegrass Festivals. It is a welcome change from suburban Rockland County, NY where I live.
On many of these trips I used to go out for as much as 18 days around the south, and met some very interesting people. Now, lest us get back to the Middle East. I like to judge people not by what they say but by whether those words are backed up by actions. How many times has Arafat pledged to halt terrorism. Has he done so ? No. In the last Camp David summit, he was offered more than ever before in terms of territorial concessions and his own sovereign state. What was his answer ? The intefada. Yes, when ever there is a suicide bombing attack, he was the first to condemm it, in English, to the Western press. However, the very same day, in Arabic, he praises that attack to an Arab audience as an example of the Jihad he so fervently believes in. Can you show me any positive examples of promises kept & not broken ? SOL ZELLER
