PLO Now

Joseph Burg, illustrious father of our present Speaker of the
Knesset, Avraham Burg, aptly described the Peace Now organization way
back in a Maariv headline as follows: "There is no more traitorous a
group than 'Shalom Achshav.'" Things haven't changed very much with
regard to this description of them. What is pathetic and at the same
time astounding, is Shalom Achshav's patent disloyalty in the face of
Arafat's War against us, and his daily killing of our soldiers and
fellow Jews.
Shalom Achshav has taken out large front page Ads in many newspapers in
the midst of the intifada. They apparently are well funded. There is
the overriding suspicion that Arab oil money has found its tortuous way
into their well-heeled coffers. Shalom Achshav's message is one which
Arafat could have written himself. It deals with "the settlements", but
even includes building in Jerusalem. Their Ad is addressed to Barak,
their kindred spirit.
No one will bring any action against them for incitement, but their
message encourages the present violence, and virtually adopts the line
of the PLO and Arafat. Shalom Achshav's silence and failure to criticize
Arafat, in effect, sanctions the killing and shooting that is presently
going on against Jews throughout Israel, including in Gilo, a
neighborhood in Jerusalem. Shalom Achshav's actions, unfortunately, are
no different than most of the Arab Knesset Members, who are likewise
traitorous. Shalom Achshav is in "good company" and is a full and
active partner to the same anti-Israel objectives.
What can be done about it? Ironically, the Knesset felt compelled to
take action against Rabbi Meir Kahane who, all agree, loved the Jewish
People and the State of Israel. It refuses, however, to take action
against Shalom Achshav, or the traitorous Arab Knesset Members, who
through their actions, virtually seek to destroy our Jewish country, and
its holy Biblical sites. Both the Knesset and Shalom Achshav continue
to ignore the fact that Zionism is still the unfulfilled dream of the
great majority of the Jewish people, here in Israel and throughout the
diaspora.
