WWIII is coming, 'I'm sure,' high-level Sharon aide says
By Stephanie Innes
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
The terror attacks on Sept. 11 and extreme turmoil in the Middle
East point to one thing - World War III, a spokesman for Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday during a visit to Tucson.
"We've been fighting a war for the past 18 months, which is the
harbinger of World War III. The world is going to fight, whether
they like it or not. I'm sure,'' Ra'anan Gissin, a senior adviser
to Sharon, said in an interview Friday.
"Sept. 11 was a watershed event, and things will never be the
same. The battle lines have been drawn.''
Gissin, 53, is in Tucson this weekend as part of a 12-day tour of
the United States to promote the purchase of Israel Bonds. The
bonds are part of a program that began in 1951 in which securities
are sold to individuals and corporations to finance economic
growth in Israel.
"The Israeli government pays them back. . . . The collateral is
the eternity of the Jewish people,'' Gissin said, dismissing an
April 1 Newsweek story that questioned the future of his country.
"We believe the state of Israel will continue to exist forever.
Therefore, it's a sure investment."
On Friday night he spoke to an audience of about 300 people at the
Reform Temple Emanu-El, 225 N. Country Club Road, as police stood
on guard at the doorways of the synagogue. Today at 5 p.m. he is
scheduled to speak at the conservative Congregation Anshei Israel,
5550 E. Fifth St.
Gissin called the war a clash between the civilized and
uncivilized worlds.
"It's a clash between the forces of evil, as (President Bush) so
neatly described it, and forces of life."
Mohyeddin Abdulaziz, 54, a Tucson resident and Palestinian who
grew up near Ramallah, did not attend Gissin's talk. But in an
interview Friday night he said the Israeli point of view does not
take into account the suffering of Palestinians who live in the
occupied territories of the West Bank and Gaza.
"This is a war that is being fought against a largely civilian
population. It is a one-sided war,'' said Abdulaziz, who still has
family living in the West Bank. "The Palestinians do not have one
tank, one airplane, one helicopter. These are people who have been
under a brutal occupation for 35 years and every nation on this
Earth has recognized it as an illegal occupation.
"We have generations of Palestinians who know nothing but brutal
occupation,'' he said. "The West Bank and Gaza are only 22 percent
of the geographic area of Palestine, and it's all the Palestinians
are asking for. They want a place to call home."
Gissin said he did not believe that the Israeli incursion at the
West Bank refugee camp in Jenin earlier this month was a massacre
as some Palestinians have said. The chief Palestinian negotiator,
Saeb Erekat, has accused Israel of trying to hide "terrible
things" at the camp. Palestinians say hundreds died. The United
Nations is sending a fact-finding team there.
"Real peace can only exist or come about when there is an
understanding and a commitment among our Arab and Palestinian
neighbors to a process of reconciliation - to accept the fact that
Jews also have a right to their own land, to their ancestral
homeland," Gissin said.
