Opinion Page Wednesday • October9,1? Heinroth’s view of Mail Israel lacks sense Regarding Michael Heinroth’s Oct. 7 column, “Arabs, not Israel, should pick up the slack:” Is Heinroth for real? Is he really that ignorant about the Middle East? The notion of forcing Arab nations to provide a homeland for the Palestinians has not been seri ously discussed in Israeli politics for quite some time. The only ones still advocating such positions are a handful of cranky ideological extremist hard liners. The racism in his column is appalling. He characterizes Arabs as oil-rich fundamentalists having too much desert. Funny, because Syria’s economy is still suffering from the demise of their chief benefactor, the Soviet Union; Syria joined the Gulf War coalition in the hopes of secur ing foreign aid from the US. A hike in bread prices caused open rebellion in Jordan a few months back. Don’t misrepresent cultures you don’t understand. Don’t get me wrong. I have absolutely no love for Mr. Arafat (or Assad for that matter). Too many of my friends and rela tives have been killed as a result of his actions and decisions. However, stereotypically branding the Arabs as bad and the Israelis as inn and good does not help the si! tion. Neither does refusii\| acknowledge the folly-filled a teurish behavior of the Net® Volume l () $ government. And, by the way, criticism is directed atyoubya who used to live in Israel.
