Summary:Sir, - Aside from pronouncements of solidarity with Israel, what can we do? Here is a simple plan: Let us organize "Seniors for Israel" tours. Why not form groups of 25 or more for solidarity visits to Israel? It would be possible to arrange inexpensive flights, accommodations, ground transportation, and personal hospitality contacts. Maybe he should have asked: I wonder if [Yasser Arafat] is ready for or wants peace? If so, why does he continue to train, aid and abet suicide bombers and allow them to attack civilians on Jewish religious holidays? Is Arafat ready to vacate its terrorist cells that occupy all the lands Israel has already turned over to him for peace? If this is the kind of terror infrastructure he is establishing in this land, then why should Israel reward him with more land? The article stated that the Mormon leaders have told their members not to proselytize to the Jewish people. It is just the opposite - they try to convert Jews even harder than non-Jews. When people in my workplace or in my neighborhood find out that my children or I are Jewish they bombard my family with conversion and propaganda material on the Mormon Church. My children are ridiculed in their school by the Mormon children and told they are evil because they are Jewish instead of Mormon.
