I am all for the slaying of Hamas chief Sheikh Ahmad Yassin.

Hamas was a Muslim terrorist group created by the CIA and Mossad to bastardise the progressive struggle for an independent Palestine. But if Hamas kills any Israeli prime minister now, including Ariel Sharon, I really will have no sympathy for Israel and its leaders.

All Israeli leaders since the republic's foundation have been terrorists dedicated to the destruction of the republic of Palestine which the Arab Palestinians and quite a few Jews from Europe and the USSR want.

While terrorism must be fought to the finish, it can only be finished off if the root cause of terrorism is smashed. The root cause of Muslim and Arab terrorism in the Middle East is the existence of the republic of Israel which is a republic for all Jews in the world.

It is very absurd to have a country belonging to every Jew in the world, and which denies the right to self-determination for the indigenous Arab Palestinians. The UN and USA should replace it with the republic of Palestine, where Arabs and Jews can live equally in peace.
