My imaginative transfer goes to the Palestinian children who are taught to hate

"The current violent challenge to both Jews and Christians is in accordance with an evolving and fanatically accelerating Palestinian fabrication: that the Temple never existed, that it is a Jewish invention for local political gain, that the Jewish attachment to Jerusalem is historically and religiously nil. At Camp David last July, it was Yasser Arafat himself who boggled his interlocutors by this preposterous assertion, which is increasingly promulgated by influential Palestinians, whether lay or clerical."

Jerusalem Post. Writer Cynthia Ozick of New Rochelle, New York, was awarded the "Guardian of Zion" prize in Jerusalem last week for her unstinting defense of Israel. " Holocaust denial to one degree or another is rampant in all Arab societies; it is augmented now by Judaism denial. So far, no mainstream Christian voices have been raised against these moral and historical depredations, and one wonders why. Why has there been no Christian protest over Muslim rioting when a Jew walks upon a historic Jewish site?"'
