Ha'aretz ad: "Arafat must continue the terror"

Aaron Lerner Date: 15 March 2002

The following is IMRA's translation of an excerpt from a large ad that
appeared on the front page of the 15 March Hebrew edition of Ha'aretz:

". . .It must be understood that just as Menachem Begin, the commander of
the Irgun, stopped his terror against the British only after achieving an
arrangement to end the occupation, Arafat also must continue the terror
until the problem of the Israeli occupation is resolved, since a cease-fire
today on his part would be considered giving legitimacy to the settlements.
. ."

Prof. Danny Gur

IMRA: Without comparing the activities of the Irgun and the various
Palestinian terror actions, it should be noted that while Arafat signed
numerous agreements committing the Palestinian people not to engage in
violent activities and in return was lifted from the dung heap of history
and given autonomous areas etc., Menachem Begin enjoyed not such
arrangement]
