Israel Fears Coalition With Arab States
Re “U.S. Overtures for a Coalition Alarm Sharon,” Sept. 26: Early cries of holding states responsible have faded, replaced by our growing reliance on the “global coalition against terrorism.” Excluded from this coalition is Israel, the major target of terrorists and the nation most likely to fight back. Included in the coalition are Arab countries responsible for terrorism.
Since we seem to be so concerned not to offend our enemies, perhaps what’s really needed is a “global coalition against appeasement.”

Do you believe world terrorism can be reduced if the basic problem, the United Nations boundary between Israel and Palestine, is established? Why can’t U.N. troops police this border and end the root conflict?

Gee, I wonder why Israel has created a military buffer zone in the West Bank (Sept. 25)? Duh.

We might take a moment and ask ourselves:
Has revenge brought peace to the Mideast? Perhaps we need to reexamine our foreign policy.
