A Call to Destroy All Palestinian Terrorists
June 18, 2002

MARINA DEL REY, CA--The United States must end all talk about a Palestinian state and "peace agreements" and instead assist Israel in destroying Palestinian terrorist groups, said the Ayn Rand Institute's executive director, Dr. Yaron Brook.

"President Bush has issued repeated pleas for an end to the terrorist attacks by Palestinians," said Dr. Brook. "But today's mass murder of innocent school children proves again that words are useless against brutes who have demonstrated time after time that their only language is murder. The United States must assist Israel with whatever military might is necessary to wipe out Palestinian terrorism once and for all."

"Such assistance is necessary for Israel's future-and ours," said Dr. Brook. "American eagerness to 'negotiate' with murderers has broadcast to the world that we are moral cowards, that we are unwilling fully to support the good. If the killers attacking Israel have no reason to believe that the United States has broken with its paper-tiger past, we will be their next target."

"In addition to being morally in the right," said Dr. Brook, "Israel is our first line of defense against terrorism. If we want to prevent the next September 11, we must send a new message to the Arafats, bin Ladens and Husseins of the world-by showing explicit, uncompromising moral and military support for Israel's right to freedom and self-defense."
