Violence in Jerusalem
Israeli police have mercilessly killed 19 young and old Palestinians near the Al Aqsa Mosque of Jerusalem. It was a show of brutality and barbarism by the Israeli government.
The world order has been changed; all nations, including the Soviet Union and China, are talking world peace and cooperating with the Western world in the United Nations Security Council. These world leaders have passed five strong resolutions against Saddam Hussein without much trouble. They should stand up now against the fascist regime of Yitzhak Shamir and force him to vacate the occupied lands of Palestinian people or face a blockade and isolation similar to Iraq.
After the Cold War is over, the strategic value of Israel is almost zero, and the United States cannot afford to keep a friendship with such a fascist regime at the cost of our interests in a peaceful world.
