Some Friendly Advice for the President of the United States of America
Gary Cooperberg
June 4, 2003
Dear George W.,
As an American citizen who voted for you in the last election because I believed you to be supportive of the Jewish State for authentic Biblical reasons, I am deeply disappointed by recent remarks you have made. One in particular was a pathetic attempt to use the label 'terrorism' as if it is an independent evil in and of itself, rather than the tool of evil ideologies.
"Terror threatens my nation, terror threatens Arab states, terror threatens the State of Israel, terror threatens the emergence of a Palestinian state. Terror must be opposed and it must be defeated."
Why not be honest? Your 'vision' of a PLO state on Jewish soil threatens the State of Israel. It is terror and terror alone which has led to this vision of yours. By advocating the establishment of yet another Arab enemy state, on Jewish soil no less, you have already rewarded terrorism! How can you presume to suggest that, in return for promises not to blow up any more buses filled with children, we must throw Jews out of their homes and give those homes to the murderers? Is this your expression of morality and justice? How would you feel were Israel to suggest to you to give Manhattan to Bin Laden if he agrees not to destroy the Empire State Building? It is equally as absurd as your position.
How dare you suggest that Jewish communities established in the Biblical Lands of Judea, Samaria and Gaza are 'illegal' and must be dismantled? A far better case could be made for how the American Indians were swindled out of Manhattan Island for a handful of beads. Perhaps you should dismantle the illegal settlement of Manhattan and give it back to the authentic owners, the American Indians! That would be a far more legitimate claim than the one you seem to be brokering for the PLO terrorists.
You might be interested to know that I live in what you seem to consider an illegal settlement. My home is in Kiryat Arba, Hebron. Every morning, just before dawn, I say my morning prayers in, what your friend Abu Mazen would call, a mosque. Yet this building, which was stolen from the Jewish people for hundreds of years, sits atop the grave site of my ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their wives. This so called 'arab city' was the place our forefathers called home. If you are truly a student of the Bible, how can you think to suggest that, of all places, Hebron will ever be taken away from the Jewish People again?
I dont know what they taught you in Sunday school. Perhaps you were absent during the chapters of Genesis where G-d promised these Lands to the Jewish People forever. Clearly you seem to have missed Genesis 12:3, 'And those who bless you I will bless, and he who curses you I will curse, and through you will all of the families of the Earth be blessed.'
I would suggest that you take another careful look at your Bible before you go any further with a map that has all the wrong directions. A wrong turn right now can be disastrous. It is not only your future that is at stake. It is the future of the United States of America.
With Blessings from Hebron,
Gary M. Cooperberg
