Labor Party Wins in Israel
It is pathetic that Yitzhak Rabin and his dovish Labor Party has won the national election in Israel (June 24). Any attempt to relinquish land for a promise of peace would not be in the best interest of the Israeli people. Israel is a very small country surrounded by many Arab nations. Most of them have not even accepted the right of Israel to exist.
Israel should depend on itself and not bend to pressure from President Bush. The United States has no business meddling in the affairs of other nations. Let America work on its own problems. There is definitely no shortage of severe economic and social ills right here at home.
