U.S. Administration Suspends Dialogue With Arafat’s PLO
Bush says it’s time for peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; Arafat agrees, Abul Abbas disagrees, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir disagrees.
Bush says Israel shouldn’t raise tensions by allowing Soviet Jews to live in the occupied territories; Arafat agrees, Shamir disagrees.
Abul Abbas makes news by staging and attack on Israeli soil; Bush is angry, Arafat is angry, Shamir is angry.
Bush cuts off talks with Arafat; Shamir is happy, Abul Abbas is happy.
The winners: the real terrorists. The losers: all Palestinians and Israelis who want peace.
