Jimmy Carter does not tell the truth. He is trying to legitimize the Arab aggression that seized Jerusalem's Old City from the Jewish People and the 19-year illegal Arab occupation of the city. What Carter is saying is that Israel should give up Jerusalem and Judea-Samaria (he calls that area the "West Bank," the name given by Jordan during their oc- cupation) and let it become a "Palestinian homeland" — and that will bring peace. But during the 19-years that Jordan occupied Judea, Samaria and Jerusalm's Old City, artillery shells and ter- rorists raids from that Arab- occupied area killed 521 Israelis, wounded 1,487 and caused exten- sive and heavy property damage. What blocked peace then? Jimmy Carter is not on the side of peace. He calls for America to pressure Israel to accept the Arab proposals. The elimination of Is- rael — not peace — is the intent of those proposals to take away Jerusalem, the nation's capital, as well as Judea and Samaria. Judea-Samaria, besides being the heartland of the Jewish state, also provides the vital territorial depth and the mountain barrier along the Jordan River to hold back tank assaults and provide early warning time. It is a matter of survival. An Israel readily able to defend itself will discourage Arab nations from launching new and deadly assaults on the Jewish state .. . 20% OFF RETAIL Specializing in Educational Software offices 772-9495 .?;•:.:-:•:.:.:.:,•:.:.:.:.:.:.:-:.:.:•:.:.:.:;:.:.:•:;:.:;:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. •• FRONT :: DISC BRAKES ..: : Former President Jimmy Car- ter says he sees hope for peace in the accord reached between King Hussein of Jordan and Palestine Liberation Organization chief Yassir Arafat (The Jewish News, April 5). Carter is way wrong. There is no peace for Israel in the Egypt- PLO-Jordan proposals. Their "peace-plan" calls for the terrorist organization that specializes in the murder of Jews to take over Jerusalem, Israel's capital and government center, and also to take Over Judea and Samaria, the heartland of the Jewish state and absolutely vital to its defense. What Egypt, Jordan and the PLO are really calling for is the elimi- nation of Israel. Carter blames Israel for the lack of peace because of their "re- fusing to withdraw from the occu- pied territories" (Free Press, April 7). What ex-President Carter calls "occupied territories" includes the eastern part of Jerusalem, the Old City. He is wrong in calling it occupied territory. In 1948 Jerusalem was a Jewish city. That is when Jordan attacked and seized the Old City. Almost 2,000 Jews died trying to defend their city. All Jews that survived were forced out and Arab squatters moved in . . .In 1967, Jordan at- tacked Israel, joining Egypt and Syria in another attempt to de- stroy the Jewish state. Israel fought back and defeated the in- vaders. Jordan's armies were dri- ven back across the Jordan River, to the East Bank, their legal in- ( ::.
