An open letter to the people of Manitoba the Canada Israel committee deeply deplores the current outbreak of War in the Middle East. We Are conscious of the fact that behind the news of air planes shot Down and of tanks Des troyed there Are human beings wounded killed and families bereaved. In sorrow and sadness but with the utmost urgency Call upon our fellow citizens to understand and support the cause of Israel in this new hour of trial. For the fourth time in 25 years the state of Israel must fight for its very life. All the evidence demonstrates that this was an unprovoked and premeditated attack by Egypt and Syria that the attack was launched with blasphemous purpose on yom kippur the holiest of jewish holy Days is reminiscent of the nazis who frequently extermination raids on yom kippur. This sudden attack across cease fire lines underscores clearly the need for defensible Borders for Israel had this invasion happened before 1967, would be in the heart of Jerusalem and the streets of Tel Aviv. We Call upon the Canadian government to condemn this lat est Arab aggression in the strongest terms to insist that the ceasefire lines of 1967 be respected and restored to oppose All Arab attempts to exhort a settlement through military political or economic blackmail to reject the crude and cynical manipulation of the Energy crunch As a terrorist weapon and to proclaim that in its opinion not War but Only immediate negotiation is the Road to peace. Israel must not stand alone in this hour of trial. Our voice must be heard we Call on our fellow Manitoba citizens to support this Resolution and to stand with Israel in its struggle for survival.
