the United Nations is at it again. In the United Nations there is a resolution coming to strongly condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Hebron by one crazed soul. That might be understandable. Although, one might ask: When did the United Nations last condemn any massacre of Israelis? And that massacre would generally have been sponsored by a foreign government. It would not have been the actions of one man. In fact, when did the United Nations last condemn a massacre by an individual? But what is really disturbing is that Mr. Arafat has told the American Secretary of State that he will not go back to the peace table unless Jerusalem is mentioned in the resolution. That is utter nonsense. Mr. Arafat is simply trying to change the already agreed upon process to serve his own ends. President Clinton should instruct his Ambassador to the United Nations to veto any United Nations resolution which mentions Jerusalem and interferes with the debate that should properly occur at the peace table. Let the parties make peace at the bargaining table without phony resolutions from the United Nations intruding on the process.
