How come Israel, with its military superiority over all its neighbours, and the backing of the most powerful nation on earth -USA- , cannot settle down the palestinian problem. Instead, Israel goes out of its way to "prove" that Abu-Nidhal and his buddies are out to push the israelis into the sea, and hence it should not deal with the palestinian problem. It is this mindset, this ghetto mentality which could well be Israel's worst ennemy. As a famous jewish philosopher says: "You can take the jew out of the ghetto, but you cannot take the ghetto out of the jew". ___________ Chedley Aouriri.

You can't settle the problem if its neighbors won't talk to it. -- -- Bob Gottlieb UUCP: ...!linus!alliant!gottlieb Mail: Alliant Computer Systems Corp, 42 Nagog Park, Acton, MA 01720 Phone: (617) 263-9110 Foot: "You can't get there from here". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know what I'm doing, and Alliant isn't responsible either, so there!"
