Thought Stopping

Letter to The Jerusalem Post

Sometimes a sentence is capable of bringing you to a full stop - without the dot. Such a line appeared in your front-page "Final tally lifts Olmert to center-left majority" (March 31), in which you reported that the election result "gave Olmert's plan to withdraw unilaterally from most of the West Bank a majority of 61, even without the nine votes of the Arab parties."
What a thought-stopping line. We no longer need the Arabs to remove our people from our homeland. We're now older and wiser, and big enough to do it all by ourselves.
