after reading Kates' published comments on the Israeli/Palestinian situation
----------------------------------

Dear Ms. Kates,

I think you are a remarkable woman. You are neither
an Arab nor a Jew, you do not study the Middle East,
or any associated subject and, correct me if I am
wrong, you have never visited this region. Therefore
I am somewhat astounded at your expertise and your
comments on Israel being an "Apartheid" state.

I have lived in Israel for many years and I would be
delighted to take you on a little virtual tour of our
country. Let me first give you a couple of minor
points. Israel occupies 0.1% of the landmass of the
Middle East and it is the only Jewish state, not
only in this region, surrounded as we are by 22 Arab
states, but in the world.

Let us begin your virtual tour!!

You have already been through immigration at Tel
Aviv Airport with your boyfriend, whom we shall call
Ken. You will have filled out a visitors form.

This form will not ask you, as it will in many of the
countries that surround us, what is your religion, and
it will certainly not ask you, as they do in Saudi
Arabia, for a "certificate of religion".

The day is Sunday! You will want to attend a church
service. No problem in the Apartheid State of Israel.
We tolerate and freely allow worship for all
religions. This is more than can be said for nearly
all of the surrounding 22 Arab nations. In fact many
of them would not even have a single church, let alone a
synagogue.

After a lovely service you and Ken would head for a
leisurely lunch, maybe at one of the lovely beachfront
restaurants in Tel Aviv. You would most likely have
returned to your hotel and put on a very casual
outfit, as fitting the very hot Israeli summers. This
could be a pair of shorts and a tight-fitting skimpy
t-shirt. No problem in the Apartheid state of Israel.

In Israel we allow freedom of dress, especially for
women, who are not made to wear bulky long robes, a veil to
cover their face, and, wouldn't it be a pity
if you had to cover that lovely coiffed hairdo, as you
would probably have to in most of the surrounding 22
Arab states.

During lunch Ken could gaze lovingly into your heavily
painted eyes, complete with a good application of
black mascara. He would be free to lean across and
kiss your lips, finely painted with lip liner, 2
shades of burgundy lipstick and gloss. People would probably
think you were in love, especially as Ken has proudly
displayed a good wine on the table. Public displays of
affection and consuming alcohol in the Apartheid
state of Israel is nothing unusual and its not even
scorned upon.

That's more than can be said for most of the
surrounding 22 Arab states, where your glossy lips
would be considered whorish and alcohol is forbidden.

But Ken, being a little flirtatious, pinched one of
the young waitresses while you went to reapply your
lipstick. It was harmless and, luckily for the young
girl in the Apartheid State of Israel, her father and
6 brothers will not take her to the family pool in the
evening and drown her, as they would in some of the
surrounding 22 Arab states.

After lunch you and Ken drive around. You are even
allowed to drive. It is not forbidden in Israel.

You stumble across a kindergarten. The children are
running around and enjoying themselves. They are not made
to sit for hours reciting by rote pages from
religious books. Their games are in the sand pit or on
the swings. They are not infected with hate or told
the only honor to their lives will be in death.

In the Apartheid state of Israel we rejoice in life
and living. We do not promote murder and violence by
brainwashing our children with hatred, as they do in
many of the surrounding 22 Arab states.

By the end of the day you and Ken come across a
political rally. Many thousands have turned up. In the
Apartheid State of Israel all the citizens, men,
women, Jew, Arab and Christian are free to vote. We
are allowed to openly criticize the government and our
media, including the T. V. and newspapers offer,
without prejudice, a choice of opinions. Every person
has the right to openly agree with or condemn the
government. This can certainly not be said for most of the
surrounding 22 Arab states, ruled as they are by
oppressive dictators, where any dissent is met with
dire consequences.

Of course, most of the 22 surrounding Arab countries
can't offer you a good old-fashioned homicide bombing as a
tourist attraction. This can only happen in the apartheid state of Israel,
surrounded as we are, by so many hostile countries determined, as you are, to
wipe us off the face of the earth.

Where else can you get on a crowded bus, often
packed with children and come face to face with some poor,
plighted Palestinian ghoul who thinks life isn't
very jolly, having been fed and brainwashed by evil
organizations like Hamas, to believe that the only
way forward is to murder innocent people? This
dehumanized creature will have been fed on a 24/7 diet of
lies and hate incitement, he will have been coaxed
with the reward of 72 vestal virgins waiting for him
in Paradise. His demonic mother will be dancing in the
street waving her $10,000 check.

While Israelis are scraping their dead children off
the sidewalks, the Palestinians will be lighting
fireworks and dancing in the street, to honor this
mass murderer as a hero, often to their children who
are being systematically nurtured to be the next
generation of mass murderers.

The Apartheid state of Israel? Forgive me Ms. Kates
but you seem somewhat confused as to the meaning of the
word. It usually refers to segregation. It's funny
isn't it that a large section of the Jews who live in
this apartheid state had to flee for their lives from
nearly all of the surrounding 22 Arab states. These
countries not only have no tolerance for Jews, they
refer to anyone who is not a Moslem as an Infidel and an
enemy.

I find it somewhat curious that you find nothing
"apartheid" about these countries. Maybe you should do a
project on how many churches there are in Saudi
Arabia. Let me help you - there are none. It would
not be tolerated. (SAUDI CHIEF FAN NYTIMES SCRIBE
THOM FRIEDMAN would not be allowed in the country. NO JEW IS.)

I am proud to live in this Apartheid State. In 55
years we have become one of the most technologically
advanced nations on this planet, with many innovations that have made Israel a true
leader in many fields. It is tragic that we have to live in a region that
feels threatened by our achievements.

Israel is not an apartheid state and it is appalling
that a so-called intelligent and thinking person like
you can go around finding feeble
excuses for mass murder.

Ms. Kates there is no justification, in any society,
for getting on a crowded bus, often packed with
children, detonating an explosive belt, often packed
with nails and shrapnel, and destroying innocent
lives.

This is not a freedom fighter, or a person seeking
justice, but a chronically and irreversibly evil human

I can only assume that one day in the near future
Ms. Kates, you will chip off that heavy layer of make
up and discover your conscience.
