Letter from Ruth Matar (Women in Green) Jerusalem
Thursday, September 6, 2007
Dear Friends,
Last night, or rather in the middle of the night, Israeli time, I watched the fifth debate of the U.S. Republican Presidential candidates, which was held in New Hampshire. The debate was hosted by FOX News TV Channel.
Eight announced candidates participated in the debate: Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Senator John McCain, Senator Sam Brownback, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Representative Tom Tancredo, Representative Duncan Hunter and Representative Ron Paul.
Most of the questions asked of the candidates were about the war in Iraq and about the various problems posed by illegal immigration in the US.
As I hold dual American-Israeli citizenship, I kept hoping that some questions would be directed at the presidential candidates regarding the future of Israel. I stayed up all night, only to be disappointed. Not a word about Israel!
It occurred to me that it would be most interesting to those of us who are vitally concerned with Israel’s future, to learn where each of these candidates stands on the topic of Israel.
For instance, how does each of them feel about President Bush’s plan to carve a Muslim terrorist state out of Judea and Samaria, the Biblical Heartland of Israel?
In truth, if President George W. Bush had revealed his true feelings about Israel during the elections of 2000 or 2004, I certainly would not have voted for him on either occasion. I most certainly would not have worked so intensely to bring out the American absentee vote in Israel for his benefit on my weekly English radio program on Israel National News, or in my weekly articles.
I often get e-mails asking me whether I regret helping bringing George W. Bush to power.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t forewarned. Some of my friends kept telling me how the whole Bush family was in bed with Saudi Arabia and other Arab Nations. How his father, George Herbert Walker Bush chose James Baker (of “F__ck the Jews”) as Secretary of State. How his close friend, Condoleezza Rice is the only woman, at least to my knowledge, who has had an Arab oil tanker named in her honor.
However, many knowledgeable people convinced me that in spite of his family’s background, George W. Bush was a real friend of the Jews.
How can we attempt to avoid such a grievous mistake in the upcoming election?
Let us ask the current Republican Presidential candidates what their policy on the Jewish State of Israel would be, were they elected President of the United States.
DON’T BE SHY!

Please write them a short fax, for example:
Dear Sir,
I am very interested in your candidacy and would like to know what your attitude is towards the Jewish State of Israel. Are you for the creation of a Muslim Palestinian State on Jewish land?
I would appreciate a written answer as to your official stand, so that I can share it with my friends and relatives.
My address is…
Sincerely,

I would be most interested in learning about any answers you receive from these candidates.
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
