<font face="Arial">calls on President Bush to ... make a 2-state settlement a top priority".</font></span></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><strong></strong></span></font> <font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Why is that bad?</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"></span></font> <font size="3"><font face="Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">a. A 2-state settlement means establishing a new Arab ("Palestinian") state in Judea and Samaria. These areas are just a bike-ride away from all of Israel's major cities (Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, etc.) and from Israel's sole international airport (Ben-Gurion airport). Such a state would be
</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">an existential danger to the only Jewish state in the world -- Israel. Better <u>one less</u> Arab state -- than <u>no more</u> Jewish state. </span></font></font>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">b. A recent poll (by Pew, an international research group) found that 70% of Palestinians support suicide bombings. Should a people with these attitudes be rewarded with their own state?
</span></font></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"><font face="Arial" size="2">c. Tiny Israel already has an active Northern front (last year's Lebanon war) and an active Southern front (Sderot and its rockets). Should the United States really urge her to add a third front -- this time in Central Israel, where 70% of Israel's population resides??

<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><font size="3"><font color="#800080">Dear Mr. Zachary Farley,<br><br>I have recently learned that PM Olmert, <span><span>Israel's highly unpopular Prime Minister,
</span></span></font></font><font color="#800080" size="3"> gave $16 million to PA Pres. <span><span>Mahmoud Abbas</span></span> who in turn handed the money over to <span><span>Hamas</span></span>. <span><span>Hamas</span>
</span>is on the State. Dept.'s Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list. Giving money to an FTO is against the law, and part of the punishment for breaking the law is that the person cannot enter the U.S.<br><br>Secy. of
<span>State Condoleezza Rice</span> is also advocating giving money to Abbas, money which Abbas is likely to turn over, in part, to <span><span>Hamas</span></span> and <span><span>Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade</span></span>.<br>
<br>So my question is, "How come Ms. Rice is inviting PM Olmert and <span><span>Mahmoud Abbas</span></span> to <span>Washington</span> in November for a summit, when on the face of it, both cannot enter the U.S. because of their funding terrorism?"
<br><br>Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon. </font></span></div>

<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><br><font face="courier" size="4">Everyone keeps saying that the November USA-Arab-Israel conference "must" decide to set up a monster ... a Palestinian state.</font><font face="arial" size="2">
<br> <br></font><font face="courier" size="4">We really need our friends in the United States to urgently contact their Jewish newspapers, radio shows, radio stations, their rabbis and presidents of their synagogues and organizations, and ask: "
<u>Why</u> is American policy supporting a Palestinian state right next to Tel Aviv?" </font><font face="arial" size="2"><br> <br></font><font face="courier" size="4">Press the person you are speaking to: "I understand from my contacts in Israel that Israeli polls show that Israelis do not want to have a new terrorist state right next to them. How can you, rabbi/president/editor, help to make sure, at least, that American policy is not pushing something fatal for Israel in the context of the upcoming November International conference? Should we not be concerned that Palestinian statehood right next door to Tel-Aviv, and the rockets and suicide bombings that will come with it -- might terminate the State of Israel, the only Jewish state in the world?

<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="courier" size="4">How can the IDF fight on 3 fronts (North, South and Central Israel) all at once, which is what will happen if the "Palestinian state" ever comes to fruition? Is it appropriate for someone like you, who enjoys a position of influence, to remain silent on this side of the ocean, if our own American policy is so crucially instrumental in shaping this threat?"
</font><font face="arial" size="2"><br> <br></font><font face="courier" size="4">Any media outfit, Jewish or otherwise, however minor, which raises the issue of NOT pushing Israel to establish a Palestinian state, would be extremely helpful to us here. So please, call the newspaper, radio station and TV station (Jewish or otherwise) that YOU patronize.

<div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="courier" size="4">We also need at least some of the pro-Israel leaders in the US to speak up AGAINST a Palestinian state, and this should get done before November -- say, even only (in alphabetical order) Agudath Israel USA, Mr. Malcolm Hoenlein, Lubavitch USA, the OU, Pastor Hagee, Young Israel and ZOA. If even only these few leaders decide to use, for the good, their contacts in the White House and on Capitol Hill and -- most important -- in the media -- the terrible "Palestinian state" plans looming over us in Israel will, in all probability, be repealed.
</font><font face="courier" size="4">So -- please call these leaders if you are in touch with them. Or email them; using the following email addresses:
