- LETTERS, Page 10Sharon Talks

- Were the situation not so serious in the occupied
- territories, I would laugh at the comments made by Israeli
- Minister of Industry and Trade Ariel Sharon (INTERVIEW, April
- 17). Sharon refers to P.L.O. terrorists as having "more Jewish
- blood on their hands than anyone since the Nazis." It's
- sickening to continue bringing up the Nazis. While I'm not
- belittling the horror and tragedy caused by Hitler, it is ironic
- to hear supporters of Israel use that as an excuse for Israel's
- treatment of the Arabs. I have heard personal accounts of
- torture, injustice and persecution from relatives and friends
- living in the West Bank. I myself was detained and harassed for
- more than three hours in the Tel Aviv airport simply because my
- husband is Palestinian. The Arabs had nothing to do with the
- Holocaust.

- Bravo, Sharon! How refreshing it is to hear from a true
- Israeli patriot instead of having to listen to comments from
- celebrity defeatist American Jewish wimps.
