Summary:I offer the following suggestion: On an occasion in the near future when the number of demonstrators surrounding the Mukata is at a minimum - perhaps on a rainy night - Israel should move very quickly and surround [Yasser Arafat]'s headquarters with barbed wire, at a distance of perhaps 100 meters. Once this was done, additional demonstrators would not be able to get close enough to the Mukata to thwart any move by Israel to remove the PLO chairman. Sir - Israel's misplaced sentimentality in "making every effort" to return our captives will have tragic results for those of us here. Released Palestinians return to kill us. It happened at Jerusalem's Cafe Hillel, and again just this Rosh Hashana ("Baby killed in Rosh Hashana attack," September 29). As prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu released Sheikh Yassin in exchange for two captured Israelis; now the government is trying - unsuccessfully - to eliminate Yassin to stop him from killing more Jews. Sir, - Michael Gerver states in "Waging aliya" (Letters, September 26): "But [David Chinitz] is missing the most important reason why more American Jews do not make aliya: the difference in salaries between Israel and the US" ("The core of Zionism," September 22). I'd like to ask this reader how he knows salary is the reason more Americans do not make aliya.
