[IMC-Editorial] Letter to the Editor: Kill--Don't Expel--Arafat

[David Holcberg, The Ayn Rand Institute]

Dear Editor:

The Jerusalem Post's editorial calling for killing--not expelling--Arafat is right on 
target, even if years too late.

Arafat has been a terrorist murderer for decades and deserves exactly the same fate as 
bin Laden deserves.
 
While there has been no shortage of excuses and rationalizations to leave Arafat alone, 
the fact remains that no solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is possible with 
Arafat alive. Exiling him would be a mockery of justice and would not stop him from 
inciting further terrorism against Israel. 

Taking him out would not only advance the prospects for peace in the region but would 
show to every Palestinian terrorist that Israel means business and that the days of 
moral cowardice and appeasement towards its enemies are over; it would show that Israel 
will no longer cave in to "world opinion" or to pressure from American presidents.

It is a shame that the Sharon and the Bush Administrations have still not decided to 
kill the murderer. As long as they remain oblivious to the need to carry out justice, 
the blood of innocent Israelis will not stop flowing.

Sincerely,

David Holcberg
