Yes. they are Moslem. Life is life irrespective of their religious persuasion. Besides the other homeless refugees in Lebanon. there are now native Lebanese who are refugees and so we know that the bombs strike Christian as well as Moslems. This should be of special concern to this Congress and to the American people. The invasion which purports to enhance Israels security. in fact. in my judgment. does great harm to the longterm security interests of Israel which most of us are very interested in. The violence generates ever greater hostility which serves to galvanize the Arab opposition. Already there is evidence that Iraq wants to end its war with Iran in order to enter the fray against Israel. Another generation of displaced refugees will be convinced that the only way to a solution for their homelessness is to answer violence with violence. For the sake of Israel. for the sake of Lebanon. for the sake of the entire Middle East. indeed for the sake of the world. our President should speak out before the war even further escalates. The United States is the supplier of an overwhelming proportion of Israeli weapons and other assistance.
