Letter to the editor, The Financial Times - 24th August 1991


Dear Sir,

It is in time of world crisis that you judge people who claim to be leaders of nations. However, if these leaders constantly adopt views in variance to the standards acceptable to the civilized world, are they not denying themselves the right of recognition? Are the leaders of the "Western" world not obliged to deny such recognition in the present, so not to face humiliation in the future? It seems that the leadership of the Palestinian people (be it the PLO or the Hamas) is constantly supporting the wrong side, ignoring International justice, supporting cruelty and instability. In other words, the "Palestinian Leadership" as, they claim to be, is supportive of cruelty, anarchy and all that is not valued by the civilized world. In August, and all through the crises in the Gulf, it was the PLO and Hamas who have supported Saddam Hussein, in an ugly demonstration of ungratefulness towards Kuwait, a pillar of support of the Palestinian People. During the attempted coup in the Soviet Union, did it support the "committee of eight", together with such individuals as Saddam Hussein and Muamar Kaddafi. Only two days after the returning to power (?) of Michael Gurbachev did Arafat proclaim that he too belongs to the civilized world. Let the world remember with whom it is dealing, and act accordingly. The "good guys" did make mistakes in the past, let us not repeat them.

Zalli Jaffe.
