: 6/30/00 ARABS & ISRAEL 5237: Jew Against The Jews : Yoram Hazony had written an Op-Ed piece that pointed out and : warned about the increasing identification Israeli Arabs : make as Arafat's Arabs. I was wondering how the "NY Times" : came to publish it, until I read to the end. Then I : realized that it was depressing without suggesting a way to : neutralize Israeli Arabs, whom it stopped short of calling : the enemy. : The finding may be depressing but it didn't weigh Zionism : down with guilt. The heavier the perceived guilt, the more : accommodating to the Arabs that Israel is likelier to be. : To slap on a layer of guilt, the editor published a letter : from Henry Siegman, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign : Relations. Mr. Siegman long has been an apostle of : appeasement. He promotes the weakening of Israel so it : would have to make the deal he wants it to. : His letter reads like that of a partisan of the Arabs. He : went so far as to lie in their behalf. His lies would not : only place Israel in a poor light but build sympathy for : Arafat's Arabs. That population's support for terrorism : makes it undeserving of sympathy. : Referring to Israeli Arabs, Siegman claims that the Jews : "excluded them from the dominant majority when it came to : voting on state issues." Absolute lie. The enemy should be : excluded from voting on issues involving the enemy but it is : not. : Referring to Arafat's Arabs, he claims that they "have been : denied national self-determination." Another lie. This one : is based on the false assumption that they are a separate : nation. There are other, subtle assumptions there that we : have discussed at length before. : Evasively, Siegman allows, "There are those who would : maintain that given Israel's circumstances, these forms of : discrimination are unavoidable." That's a deceptive way of : covering himself by alluding to the Israeli Arabs' civil war : on the State of Israel without stating it and so therefore : he implies that any measure taken against Israeli Arabs is : unwarranted and therefore unfair. : The allusion is followed with, "But isn't it also : unavoidable for victims of such discrimination to feel : deeply alienated?" There Siegman takes the Arab position of : starting with an Israeli counter-measure and commiserating : with its Arab targets. He should start earlier, with the : Arab aggression and terrorism and find the Jews the victims : and their counter-measures inadequate. : How Siegman puts it, that the Jews "singled them out for : second-class citizenship!" (NY Times, 6/16.) They weren't : singled out. They were invited to normal citizenship but : made war, instead. Who could trust them, thereafter? The : victorious American revolutionaries did not trust the : defeated American Tories and expelled them, as per peace : treaty. : Richard H. Shulman (unaffiliated with any group.
