Sep 28, 2003, 11:10
Ramallah - The Palestinian Authority chief, Yasser Arafat, has sent a
congratulatory cable to the Zionist head of state, Moshe Katzav, on the
occasion of the New Hebrew Year.
Arafat hoped in his message that they would both work for establishing just,
lasting and comprehensive peace and for accomplishing the historic
reconciliation, which he claimed was the aspiration of the �neighboring�
Palestinian and �Israeli� peoples.
�Both of us have suffered long cruel and painful years and those of us who
are keen on future of our children are yelling: enough. So let us not just
only hope but let us rather work for turning a new leaf in the relations
between our peoples,� Arafat�s message read.
He also said that such a new stage should be void of �terrorism� or any act
of �violence, murder, destruction, uprooting of trees or occupation�.
It should signal a new era of �coexistence, tolerance, cooperation,
construction, mercy, right and peace,� Arafat elaborated.
He finally hoped that the New Hebrew Year would initiate a new period of
tranquility and stability, peace and security.

Hey Abu Alfalfa, it's spelled I-S-R-A-E-L (or in Arabic as
'alif-hamzah, sin, ra, 'alif, ya-hamza, ya, lam, if your ignorance
extends that far  &#1573;&#1587;&#1585;&#1575;&#1574;&#1610;&#1604;

What does "new Hebrew year" even mean???  It's the _Jewish_ New Year!
How would you feel if I wished you "Happy Arab ul-Fitr"?
