Unity Coalition for Israel has started the letter-writing campaign aimed at "60 Minutes" and its advertisers for the brilliant report on the end of the two-state solutioin that ran Sunday night. Here are some of the scripts for the lobby's legions' letters:
The entire premise of Bob Simon's segment — that the key to solving the
Arab-Israeli conflict lies entirely with the Israelis, who make peace
impossible by building settlements in the West Bank — is false and
devoid of connection to recent history…
Just as Simon ignores Israel's offer to dismantle settlements and
create a Palestinian state, he also ignores the violence that followed
Palestinian rejection of the offer. The words "terror," "terrorism" or
"terrorist" do not appear even once in the transcript of the segment.
Nor do the words "violence," "war," "gunmen," "militants," "attacker,"
or "suicide bombers."
The one reference to guns during the 60 Minutes segment, in fact, was
Simon's assertion that "the Israelis," as opposed to the Palestinians,
"have the guns." The one reference to "security" was Mustafa
Barghouti's claim that most Israeli checkpoints cannot be justified by security concerns.
