Let's Keep Our Eye on the Target
(Haaretz) Moshe Arens - The only important measure in this war against Palestinian terror is the number of Israelis murdered on our streets, and the only important means of victory is the prevention of these murders. Every proposal for an IDF action should be measured by this criterion: Is it likely to decrease the number of Israelis killed by acts of terror? In dealing with the U.S. and the Europeans, it is essential that we have a convincing case that each action has a direct life-saving impact. Yasser Arafat, who started this war, is now of secondary importance as the Palestinian war of terror has assumed its own momentum. Even if Arafat were to disappear tomorrow, the effect on Palestinian terror would probably be minimal. (Ha'aretz)
