important effort by the U.S. Senate to
encourage Arab nations to normalize
relations with Israel to help bolster the
prospects for peace in the Middle East.
It was very disappointing to learn that
neither Michigan senator, Carl Levin or
Debbie Stabenow, were among the 71
U.S. senators endorsing this critical ini-
tiative to: end the Arab League boycott
against Israel; stop incitement to anti-
Israel violence and hatred endemic in
Arab culture; ease discriminatory travel
and business restrictions; and most
importantly, respect previous accords
and stop terrorism.
Senator Levin's and Senator
Stabenow's refusal to sign on to this
letter promoting Arab recognition and
acceptance of Israel is all the more
disturbing given their appearance
alongside unabashed anti-Semite Rev.
Jeremiah Wright at last year's NAACP
dinner in Detroit as well as their will-
ingness to appear at ceremonies at the
Arab American Museum in Dearborn
along with the secretary general and
ambassador from the very same Arab
League that seeks to isolate and eco-
nomically strangle Israel and that has
never recognized Israel.

Levin's Logic?
I was initially shocked to learn that
both our U.S. senators, Carl Levin and
Debbie Stabenow, were not among
the 71 senators who signed a letter to
President Obama urging him to press
the Arab states to demonstrate their
commitment to the peace process
by normalizing relations with Israel
("Letter Of The Law," Aug. 20, page 19).
On the other hand, maybe I should
not have been shocked as in the case
of Sen. Levin, who had sent out a form
letter to many who had written to him
in December on the Gaza war remark-
ing to the effect that Israel had made
the peace process more difficult by its
actions of self-defense.
One can now see a pattern to Sen.
Levin's logic that if only Israel would
give up it duty to defend its citizens,

there would be peace. U.S. Rep Gary

came back from Israel having visited
Sderot, recognized that Israel needed

Road To Genocide
On his tour of Europe, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was
forced to run the gauntlet as leaders
on the continent took whacks at him
with sharp sticks. It's a shame that
there is no balancing act in Europe.
Has the European Union demanded
that the Arabs recognize Israel as the
Jewish state? Has the E.U. demanded
that the Arabs call off their war of
annihilation against Israel? Has the E.U.
demanded an end to Arab terrorism,
missile attacks and cross-border raids
intent on killing and kidnapping Israelis?
Has the E.U. demanded that the
Arabs stop their 24/7 incitement to
violence against the Jewish state? Has
the E.U. demanded that the Arabs stop
the indoctrination of their children
with hatred for the Jews? The answer
is a deafening no.
The only thing the E.U. is demand-
ing is the ethnic cleansing of Jews from
Judea, Samaria and much of Jerusalem.
Very little has changed since the
Holocaust except that the Europeans
no longer have to get their hands dirty.
Now all they have to do is write checks
to the Arabs and let them complete the
genocide of the Jewish people.

Correction

• In "Architect Means Business" (Aug.
27, page 24), it indicated that Adat
Shalom Synagogue in Farmington
Hills was designed by architect
Dennis King's current firm, Harley
Ellis Devereaux Corp. Actually, the
synagogue was designed by a different
firm, King & Lewis Architects, with
Dennis King and Larry Rockind on
the design team. Rockind was chief
engineer and says he was responsible
for the project under the direction of
Harry King (no relation to Dennis).
