======================= U.S. Decries Israel Official's Idea
Updated: Thu, Aug 23 4:53 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department denounced on Thursday an Israeli official's suggestion that families of Palestinian terrorists be targeted for execution as a way to discourage suicide bombings.
Gideon Ezra, deputy minister of public security, was quoted Sunday as saying that, in his opinion, "a strike against those who are dear to them - and I'm not talking about house demolitions, house demolitions barely move them - but the close family, there is no doubt that will have an impact on them."
A State Department spokesman, Philip Reeker, said the remark was "offensive and reprehensible, especially coming from a senior government official." He urged Israel to "distance itself" from the remarks.
Reeker said he did not know if U.S. diplomats in Israel had asked Israeli officials about the remark reported by the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot.
Israel has responded to Palestinian terrorist attacks in a variety of ways, including the targeted killing of suspected terrorists.
Israel has defended the strategy as one of justifiable self-defense and a way of retaliating with limited danger of hurting innocent Palestinian civilians.
The State Department has condemned the targeting as provocative. But Vice President Dick Cheney has said "there's some justification in their trying to protect themselves by pre-empting" terrorist attacks.
Americans Strongly Support Israeli Anti-Terrorism Strategy
Updated: Fri, Aug 24 10:01 AM EDT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- By better than a 4 -1 ratio, Americans support Israel's tough anti-terrorism strategy according to a new, bipartisan poll released today by the America Middle East Information Network (AMEIN).
"It's clear from this survey that the overwhelming majority of Americans share the Israeli view that terrorism is never justified and should be combated aggressively," said pollster Frank Luntz, of the Luntz Research Companies, a firm that polls for Republicans. "And it's interesting that Republicans and Democrats -- who don't agree on much -- agree on this: In the current spate of violence, Israel is the victim, not the perpetrator."
"This poll shows clearly that Americans, like Israelis, think terrorists should be regarded as soldiers waging war against civilians -- and soldiers in a war face lethal force," said Jefrey Pollock of the Global Strategy Group, a firm that polls for Democrats. "Also revealing is the fact that most Americans are viewing the Israelis as victims -- victims who have the right to use whatever means are necessary to defend themselves."
According to the poll, 73% of Americans believe that Israel is "justified" in "attempting to kill" a terrorist when "Israel has proof that a terrorist is planning a suicide bomb or other act of terrorism that is likely to result in the deaths of Israelis." Only16% of respondents said Israel is not justified in taking such action. In addition, 70% of Americans believe Israelis are "justified" in "attempting to kill" an individual when they have proof that individual had "carried out a terrorist act that killed Israelis and plans to strike again." Only 18% said that is not justified.
The poll also found that most Americans believe that terrorism is on the rise, and that Israelis are the most frequent victims. In addition, by almost a 4 - 1 margin, (42% to 11%), Americans are more sympathetic with the Israeli side than with the Palestinian Arab side. This finding tracks with findings from a Gallup survey conducted earlier this month.
The phone poll of 804 respondents was conducted August 17 -19 by a bipartisan team of veteran researchers from Luntz Research Companies and the Global Strategy Group. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3.5%.
