Rejection of Oslo
Re “Fateful Period for Mideast,” editorial, Dec. 23: The majority of Israeli Jews and Christians do not now nor ever have supported the Oslo accords. It was only by joining with the Muslims and Communists that Yitzhak Rabin was able to get the Oslo accords through the Israeli parliament. When the people voted 31 months ago, it was the first time that they had the opportunity to voice their true feelings. Fifty-five percent of the Jewish population and 80% of the Christian population voted against Oslo and put the present government in power. It is little reported by the Western press, this rejection of Oslo by the Arab Christians, who fear living in another country dominated by Muslims.
