7, October 2003 Israel bombs Syria
The decision of President Bush to support
the Israeli attack on Syria effectively gives a green light
for Israel to continue its state sponsored terrorism with impunity. The attack
on Syria was a clear violation of international law which
is sure to escalate the violence in the Middle East and provoke
further attacks on innocent Israeli citizens. This will further isolate the US
and create greater instability in the Middle East. 3,200 innocent citizens, including 800
children have already perished.
The Bush Administration has created a
dangerous precedence with its preemptive attack on Iraq which
the Israeli government has exploited with its preemptive attack on Syria. The
Palestinians and the Israelis have both become hostage to the extremist
elements of their respective societies.
The Jewish lobby has been instrumental in
formulating the unwavering financial and political support of Israel. 3 billion
dollars is paid to Israel each year for 'defense' needs. The sad reality is
that much of this US largess has been used to wage a war of terror and deny the
Palestinians a homeland and self-determination. Approximately, $1.6
trillion of U.S. tax money has been given to Israel over the past 30 years much
of which has been used to take possession of Palestinian land
with the construction of illegal settlements and the 'apartheid' wall of
hatred. There will no hope for peace in the Middle East until the US abandons
its blatant partially towards Israel and assumes the role
of an honest broker.
