We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year BOB & MAUREEN SHAPIRO SANDY & MICHELLE Collins fully understands Israeli and Jewish suspicions of the world in general and the Arabs in particular. "Israel remembers," he said. "The truth is that Israel has always fought its own wars without any real assistance from an outside party. People have to understand that Israel is the only country that stops terrorism." But he feels that Israel has to take some real action to change the situation as it stands now. "Israel, as a nation and as a people, can't afford another 20 years of occupation. What Israel needs is someone like De Gaulle, someone to liberate Israel from occupa- tion," Collins says, adding > that in his opinion, "Israel has too much politics and not enough statesmanship. "During my stay in Israel, I have made one observation in particular: The Palesti- nians have to convince Israel that they really want peace. The Palestinians on the West Bank need to develop their own leadership and not rely on the PLO, Jordan or Syria. "The PLO has failed in get- ( ting the Palestinians closer to their dreams to be in control of their own destiny. The on- ly thing the PLO has succeed- ed in is proving that their main goal is destruction and- not coexistence. Israel and Jews have good memories. After 40 years, the only con- clusion that can be drawn is that the Arabs want to destroy them." He believes that the current situation can be solved only by direct talks between the Israelis and the Palestinians, with no other involvement. "The Palestinians have to convince the Israelis that they really want peace," Col- lins said, "and this can only be done if the population on the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip will squash the PLO. "Once the Palestinians decide to protest peacefully and to relinquish terrorism, they will have the capability of freeing Israel from the prison of occupation." Collins doesn't believe that the superpowers can serve any positive role in the negotiations, since they have their own agendas. Collins will return to the United States in October with his wife, Candace, a photographer, and their 8-year-old daughter, Chauvon. His exhibition, including the 40th anniversary lithograph for Israel entitled "Faces of Israel," will then go We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year LENORE & DAVE SHAPIRO Coconut Creek, Florida We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year MARION & PHIL SHLOM We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year 1311D11 nalz run 12.7011 to all my friends and relatives. to all our friends and relatives.
