Clement uprooted the land's native
Arabs, rather like European immigration
and colonialism uprooted the America's
native Indians. False. The mantra phrase
"the legitimate rights of the Palestinian
people" refers both to real rights and to
a real people — to a nation or at least a
genuinely distinct ethnicity. False again,
on all counts.
Mr. Boschwitz thinks it strange that
these peace partners seem so little inter-
ested in peace with Israel. That's funny,
since Palestinianism is so plainly just
Zionism turned inside out, the total
antithesis of Zionism. There is no Pales-
tinian national identity except in opposi-
tion to Israel. It was knowingly created
and strenuously nurtured to completely
cancel it out. It doesn't exist for the good
of any people, least of all the so-called
Palestinians, but for the utter destruc-
tion of Jewish Israel.
It can't come to terms with the Jewish
cause any more than we could ever
come to terms with history's last
Philistines.

Israel Comments
Were Misdirected
In Neil Rubin's pointed comments on
the "irrelevant military maps" and the
need to turn "toward spiritual matters"
in Israel ("Oy, Bibi, Not Again" June
26), he avoids the facts, relying on
humor and misdirection.
Nowhere does Mr. Rubin say what
"irrelevant military maps" of Judea-
Samaria and Jerusalem look like and
why Arab maps are any better. Further,
"spiritual matters," which Mr. Rubin is
more concerned with than land that is
going to be sacrificed to Yassir Arafat,
revolve around traditional-Reform
issues, discussion of which brings great
dispute in Israel and America.
But Mr. Rubin assumes that because
he is an editor, readers will adopt his
viewpoint.
Indeed, in a less than brilliant obser-
vation, Rubin notes that "ruling the lives
of more than 1.5 million Palestinians
corrupts Jewish values, sucking the ener-
gy needed to redefine Jewish identity ..."
Would Mr. Rubin have used the same
excuse in 1948, when Jews were dying
in Nazi Germany and praying and fight-
ing for Israel to survive? Many Jews, like
Neil Rubin, may have said, "There are
too many Arabs to let us live in Israel."
And that is always true.
Madeleine Albright is an example of
millions who live here but support Israel
in its sacrifice for the peace process. She
knows that surrendering part of the holy
land, regardless of how gentle or law-
abiding Arafat may be, goes against
God's written commandment and Israeli
military advice. She stands against. Yet
commandment and military say that
either the whole land is Jewish or Arab.
There is nothing in between except war.
Negotiations with Yassir Arafat,
regardless of Netanyahu (Likud) or
Barak's (Labor) position, are futile,
indeed suicidal. Arabs know that, given
Judea-Samaria and eastern Jerusalem,
the war for the remainder (Tel Aviv,
Haifa and Beersheva) will be immediate.
Indeed, every Arab knows that the land
is indivisible. But not the Jew because,
like Rubin, horrible surrender of land
means a good peace with Arabs. So
Israel is assumed to turn over the heart
of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount that
the Arabs have had (contrary to Jewish
will) and the entire Judea-Samarian dis-
trict because it is too much work and
effort to throw the Arabs out of the
land.
It was true in 1948, and it is true in
1998. Either the Arab is moved to east-
em Palestine (Jordan) or he will (with
Europe and yes, the American presiden-
cy) destroy the Jews in his effort to cre-
ate a Palestine on the face of Israel.
