Why does Israel allow this? I can't for a moment imagine US Senators orating from Capitol Hill the destruction and wholesale killing of American civilians and soldiers. Wprse yet, he is using the language of Osama Bin laden! virtualjerusalem.com Police question MK A-Sana for justifying Tel Aviv attack by Baruch Kra Courtesy of Ha'aretz Friday November 9 2001 Jerusalem police yesterday questioned MK Talab A-Sana for more than two hours about remarks he made to Abu Dhabi TV, in which the MK appeared to justify a Palestinian shooting attack on pedestrians outside Tel Aviv's Defense Ministry compound in August. During the interview, A-Sana said that "this was a unique incident because it was not aimed at civilians but at soldiers in the heart of the State of Israel. The Israelis have to understand that if there's no security for Palestinians, then there won't be security for Israelis. In the same way they can reach Nablus, the Palestinians can reach Tel Aviv ... there's no guilt feeling nor need to justify ourselves. This is a legitimate struggle of the first order by the Palestinians and it was against soldiers, not against women and children." Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein ordered the investigation to determine whether the remarks were meant as support for terror and if they were seditious. Upon his arrival at the police station for questioning yesterday, A-Sana said that his remarks were not an expression of support for terrorism. He said that Rubinstein's decision to put him on trial makes the government's legal adviser "a political adviser" and charged "that is why Rubinstein has ordered investigations into six Arab MKs but not into Jewish MKs who use incendiary rhetoric against Arabs."
