- I am not going to spend my life defending Shamir - the man was a disaster
- to Israel and I was very happy to see his party lose. Nontheless he, as well
- as the late Menachem Begin, was many times ill-quoted by the media.
- Especially, things they said about terror organizations were presented as if
- they said them about all Arabs.
-
- Also, there are rather disturbing voices from the other side. Faisal Husseini,
- who is considered a mainstream Palestinian leader, talked just
- last month about "dissolving the Zionist entity" (Israel). If
- this kind of talk is still going on, it might suggest that not
- too much has changed in the way some Arabs view Israel.

- Hardly. Kahane, don't forget, was excluded from running to the Israeli
- parliament. When he was allowed to run, he had one seat (out of 120).
- You forget that the deportees will be allowed back in in one year or
- two. Furthermore, the organizations to which they belong (Hamas
- and Islamic Jihad) have not only openly declared that their goal is the
- complete destruction of Israel, they have also killed numerous
- moderate Palestinians who have supported the peace process. In
- one week, they killed 6 Israeli soldiers, tried to plant 3 car bombs in highly
- populated areas, and planned an attack on a high-school in Jerusalem.
- These people are doing their best to kill the peace process.
