The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 309
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order with these problems should put their heads together immediately and resolve these issues once and for all. Otherwise, these matters will continue to hang over their heads like a sword hung by a wire, the other end of which is in the hands of the Westerns powers, who, whenever they wish, can let it fall on their heads to injure them and use it to rip them apart from head to toe. This frightful possibility of the exploitation of these issues will forever hover over their heads. And the same is the case of the other issues facing the world. The Western powers always stir up some already simmering issues at will, lhen manipulate them to their benefit and in this way keep the nations of the Third world fighting and killing one another. I wish to advise them on another important matter. Apparently, it is being said that America is bringing pressure to bear upon Israel to vacate the West Bank of Jordan. But l am certain that this all is a charade. A drama is being enacted. If the U. S. bad been sincere about Israel vacating the West Bank of Jordan, then it would have accepted Saddam Hussein's first day's offer that these two issues be linked together: 'I vacate Kuwait, you get Israel to vacate the occupied territories' Then without shedding a single drop of blood, all of these issues could have been resolved. Israel is rapidly establishing settlements in these areas and the major portion of money which Israel is currently receiving from the Western powers is being used to settle the Russian Jewish immigrants on the West Bank of Jordan. Therefore, one cannot find any logical reason whatsoever for accepting the notion that America is sincere in pressurising Israel or that Israel is yielding to this kind of demand. Another danger is that leaving this issue aside, Syria may be compelled, just like Egypt, to enter into a bilateral peace agreement with Israel. If this happens, then none amongst lhe Arabs, except Iraq and Jordan shall remain to patronize and advocate the rights of the Palestinians. You are witnesses to the treatment meted out to Iraq, and Jordan does not even have this much strength. There is the possibility that Israel may continue its provocation and harassment against Jordan so as to have a pretext that Jordan's continued aggressive behaviour towards us or its providing assistance to our enemies, necessitates that we occupy it as well. 309
