-Caveat Lector- Assalamu'alaikum, In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful American Muslims for Jerusalem 208 G Street, NE, Suite 100 Washington, DC 20002 Tel: (202) 548-4200 Fax: (202) 548-4201 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.amjerusalem.org Israeli academic calls attack public relations coup for Israel (Washington, DC, 9/21/01) – Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony before Congress yesterday is a shameless attempt to capitalize on the attack on America. Even more shameless is the claim of Hebrew University’s Ehud Sprinzak that the attack on America is “the most important public relations act ever committed in our favor.” “Many of us feel vindicated by this,” he said. Since September 11th, Israeli commentators and politicians have been quick to offer America a smug “now you know how we feel.” That came, of course, with an immediate escalation of attacks on Palestinians and incursions into Palestinian lands. An Israeli army source reported that the two days immediately following the attack constituted the “largest number of simultaneous operations since the uprising started.” While America busies itself forming an international coalition, President Bush has made it clear that this is no time for equivocation. This is not a time for narrow agendas – like that of Netanyahu and his host Congressman Tom Lantos – to be pushed in the halls of Congress. It is certainly not a time for Israelis to feel “vindicated.” America has long believed in the enduring friendship between America and Israel. Americans have long paid for that friendship with 5 billion of their tax dollars a year. “The myth of Israel as a strategic asset is once again exposed,” said AMJ Executive Director Khalid Turaani. “The only way Israel can be anything but a very expensive strategic liability is for it to stay out of the way.” Over the past year, Israeli aggression against Palestinians has strained American relations with the Muslim and Arab worlds. Israel has used American weapons to bomb residential areas, assassinate political officials and kill hundreds of Palestinian civilians. America’s efforts to build a broad coalition now will be weakened if it continues to acquiesce to ongoing Israeli occupation. -END- ================================================================================ ININ List Archives Found Here: http://www.egroups.com/messages/inin ================================================================================ TO SUBSCRIBE: To subscribe please e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body type: "subscribe inin-net" TO UNSUBSCRIBE: To unsubscribe please e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body type in: "unsubscribe inin-net" ================================================================================ ISLAMIC NEWS AND INFORMATION NETWORK: HTTP://WWW.ININ.NET VISIT: HTTP://WWW.MEDIAMONITORS.NET WE AFFIRM THAT INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE!!!! DEFINING APARTHEID Article 2 of the "International Convention of the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid" of 1973 clearly defined the term "crime of apartheid." This includes similar policies and practices of segregation and discrimination as practiced in South Africa and which also apply to inhuman acts committed for the purpose of the establishment and maintaining of domination by one racial group over another. This includes the deliberated imposition of living conditions calculated to cause physical destruction and any legislative or other measures preventing a racial group from full development of their political, social, economic and cultural life. This is an accurate description of what the zionists are doing to the Palestinian people with the full support of the USA. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
