- 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.
