MR. FLEISCHER: The President strongly condemns the attack that took place in Israel yesterday which took innocent lives. The President condemns, once again, another terrorist attack on our friend Israel. The President believes that Chairman Arafat needs to continue and must demonstrate that he has the desire and the willingness and the ability to dismantle terrorist organizations, and that is a vital precursor in order for peace to be achieved in the Middle East in the President's opinion.
Q Is there any point in continuing peace process talks at this point, at this juncture?
MR. FLEISCHER: Again, the President is committed to achieving peace in the Middle East through whatever means are the most likely to achieve peace in the Middle East. So the President will continue the involvement, but it is a very difficult situation.
From yesterdays White House press conference.
I may not be able to translate the Torah, but the meaning of this position statement by the Bush Administration needs little translation. The enemy of our friend will remain our enemy whether you like it or not. The Islamics are fools to escalate their terrorist activities against Israel during the same time frame that their brothers in Islam destroyed our WTC and killed thousands of our people. Israel will do what it must to insure its security from suicidal Islamic terrorists...the U.S. will do likewise. It is unfortunate that such facts upset you, but the ball is in the Palies court.
Neturei Karta International
Do you agree with the Rabbi and the NKI that the holocaust was God's punishment on the Jews "for trying to establish the State of Israel"?
Joining Farrakhan at his annual Saviours? Day convention, Neturei Karta Rabbi David Weiss repeatedly attacked Zionism and Israel, telling the crowd that the Holocaust was punishment on the Jewish people for trying to establish the State of Israel. He also asserted that "All those who say they are Jews who speak ill of Mr. Farrakhan are not Jews."See NKI's common cause with Farrakhan
