“Stand With Israel” Community Event Overwhelming Success
Keynote Speaker, Dennis Prager.
By Sharon Wisch-Ray
Assistant Editor
A diverse crowd of 1200 with a
common goal, supporting Israel,
packed the ballroom of the Westin
Galleria, June 12 at the Jewish
Federation of Greater Dallas
(JFGD) “Stand with Israel”
Community Event. The evening,
a central fundraiser for the Israel
Emergency Campaign, began
with the National Anthem fol-
lowed by a video, which graphi-
cally described the plight Israelis
face daily because of the rash of
suicide bombings and terrorist
attacks since September 2000.
Although the film was brief, its
impact was clear as many in the
audience gasped at the horror
faced by Israelis today.
Rabbi Debra J. Robbins, Associate Rabbi
of Temple Emanu-EI delivered the invoca-
tion. “All of us are here because we stand in
a circle with our history, with our people,
with our G-d,” she said. “We will not rest
until the goals are met, faith restored, and
peace established.” At each of the 93
tables, a memorial candle, dedicated to all
of those who have perished during the
Intifada, was lighted. After a moment of
silence, Rabbi Robbins led everyone in a
somber version of the song Oseh Shalom.
Susan Levy, Israel Emergency
Campaign Chair, welcomed guests and
urged everyone to “Send the message
that She [Israeli is not alone.” She reiter-
ated that every dollar raised during the
evening would go directly to the Israel

and at least 19 passengers in the deadliest suicide attack in the hard-hit city in
six years. At least 52 were wounded. Photo by: Brian Hendler/JTA

JERUSALEM, - Will President Bush
reward Palestinian terror?
That question echoed across Israel this
week amid reports that Bush will deliver
a speech in the coming days that could
include a call for the creation of an inter-
im Palestinian state.
The question had particular signifi-
cance Tuesday, when a Palestinian sui-
cide bomber killed at least 19 Israelis
and wounded 52 in Jerusalem.
The blast from the bomb aboard a
crowded bus shook surrounding neigh-
borhoods. But it remained to be seen
whether the reverberations would reach
Washington, where final preparations
were under way for Bush's much- antici-
pated speech on Middle East policy.
Some political observers suggested
that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
had Bush's speech very much in mind
when he took the unusual step of visiting
the site of the suicide attack.
Standing near body bags lined up on the
pavement Sharon voiced opposition to declar-
ing a Palestinian state any time soon.
“The horrible pictures we saw
here today of these murderous acts
by the Palestinians are stronger
than any words,” he said. “What
kind of Palestinian state do they
intend to create? What are they
talking about?”
In the past, Sharon expressed sup-
port for the creation of a Palestinian
state. But he has said recently that
the idea is premature as long as ter-
rorist attacks continue.
Tuesday's explosion occurred on
a crowded bus during the morning
rush hour. Most of the passengers
were office workers and students
on their way to school.
Many of the wounded were
between the ages of 10 and 12,
Army Radio reported.
Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey
Levy said police had been on high
alert in the capital since Monday,
when they received a “hot" but
nonspecific warning of an immi-
nent attack. Further warnings were
still in effect. Levy said.
Sharon held a series of meetings to dis-
cuss the Israeli response.
Cabinet minister Dan Naveh, a mem-
ber of Sharon's Likud Party, said
Tuesday that Israel should re-enter
Palestinian areas and remain until securi-
ty buffers are set up to prevent terrorists
from infiltrating into Israel.
He also called for expelling Palestinian
Authority President Yasser Arafat from
the region.
