On the recordJuly 30, 1997
Let me say that my only regret is that this is not even stronger. I think every American needs to look at this two-sided game that is being played. First we see in the media that the Palestinian Liberation Organization has suffered some diplomatic slight and we are told that Israel should make more concessions. Then Israelis die, but no one is responsible. Then we are told in the media that the Palestinian Liberation Organization has suffered some slight and Israel should make concessions. Then Israelis die but no one is responsible. Let it be very clear. For at least 7 months, Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Liberation Authority have consistently failed to pursue and lock up terrorists, they have released convicted terrorists, they have put back on the street people guilty of murder, they have turned their eye, and in fact their justice minister and their head of security have been engaged in actions which are terrorism, although so far the only recorded acts are terrorist against Palestinians who did something as bad as sell land to Israelis.
