Palestinian hypocrisy on Shalhevet Pass Thames Goldman (19.4.2001) The Palestinians cried bloody murder when, on September 30 of last year, 12-year-old Mohammed al-Durrah was caught in a crossfire and killed. His picture quickly became a symbol of the Palestinian struggle. But where was the outrage when a 10-month-old Jewish baby, Shalhevet Pass, was killed by a Palestinian sniper on March 26? Little Shalhevet was not caught in a crossfire. The sniper lined her up in his telescopic sights and blew her head off. Yet Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat has not uttered one word in condemnation of the attack. Is Jewish blood cheap? Regardless of what one thinks about the settlers in Hebron or the Mideast conflict in general, it is obvious that Shalhevet was innocent regarding any grievances the Palestinians may have. Arafat's refusal to condemn her murder is sickening. Indeed, his release of dozens of terrorists from Palestinian jails during the intifada makes him complicit. What kind of madman approves of killing babies? Should such a man be made a head of state? British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain negotiated land for peace with a madman in 1939, and the results were disastrous. Shalom, Thames Goldman http://tgoldman.terrashare.com http://members.nbci.com/tgoldman ===== Yasir Arafat denies Israel's right to exist! Read the constitution of his Fateh faction of the PLO online at http://www.fateh.net/e_public/constitution.htm and count the calls for Israel's destruction. |
