-Caveat Lector- September 17, 2001 Mubarak calls for counterterrorism treaty By Arnaud de Borchgrave THE WASHINGTON TIMES http://www.washtimes.com/world/20010917-97599642.htm SHARM-EL-SHEIKH, Egypt -- (SNIP) Asked about the all-consuming hatred of the United States that motivated last week's attacks, Mr. Mubarak said it came from a "feeling of injustice --and the root cause is the Middle Eastern crisis." "Muslims everywhere see America giving arms to the Israelis to kill Muslims and America not putting any conditions on the arms it gives free to Israel," he said. "Muslims see the media taking the side of Israel, whatever it does. Public opinion is seething against an America which continues to support Israel irrespective of [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's policies that are designed to prevent the Palestinians from having their own state. "Go to all the so-called moderate states in the region, from Jordan to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Their leaders have told me that their streets are on the verge of boiling over." As for what can be done in the immediate future, Mr. Mubarak said, "Both sides in the Palestinian-Israeli crisis should start implementing the U.S.-sponsored Mitchell report, gradually but quickly, withdrawing Israeli tanks and troops from the occupied Palestinian territories. "The increasingly desperate Palestinians are encircled. They cannot send their children to school. They cannot feed them. They cannot send them to hospitals. They cannot earn a living. They cannot cannot cannot. So to recruit suicide bombers in such dire circumstances is not difficult." The Egyptian president dismissed such well-known terrorist organizations as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and other Palestinian extremist groups as "small fry on the world stage" that would "fade away" as soon as the Palestinians "get a viable independent state with all of East Jerusalem as their capital." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
