country in the Middle East who represents the democratic principles
of liberty and self-government, Israel has demonstrated tremendous
restraint by not staging a pre-emptive strike against Iraq; and,

been demonstrated by the Israeli government after the attacks by
Iraq against Israeli civilians, and we commend the citizens of
