MEMORANDUM
TO:
OPINION LEADERS FROM:
WILLIAM KRISTOL SUBJECT: Secretary Powell’s Meeting with Arafat Today, at a bus station
near Jerusalem’s Mehane Yehuda market, a suicide bomber blew himself
up, killing six and wounding scores more. The Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades,
a military wing of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement,
have claimed responsibility. Secretary of State Colin Powell is scheduled
to meet with Arafat tomorrow. The official White House reaction to today’s
bombing is that “the president will not be deterred from seeking
peace despite this attack.” But in the wake of
this bombing -- and the new documentation showing Arafat’s hand in
directing Palestinian terrorism aimed at Israel -- it would be obscene
for the American secretary of state to meet with Arafat. It’s time
to call a halt to America’s participation in this deadly peace process. |
