President Katsav: The world needs to be rebuilt from scratch
(Communicated by the President's Spokeswoman)
President Katsav today (Wednesday) September 12, 2001, met the
Jewish-American group CAMERA and expressed his shock at the terrorist
attacks perpetrated yesterday in the United States.
President Katsav said that this is a turning point in the history of
humanity. The world has changed and must be rebuilt from scratch on
strong moral foundations. The President added he is not talking about
a reaction or policy of destruction of terrorism, but rather the
joining together of all the nations of the world in a determined
struggle against terrorism, hate and war and against whoever does not
join the struggle.
The attack in the United States is a declaration of war against the
free world and against morality and justice, and it is forbidden to
surrender. President Katsav emphasized that terrorism knows no
borders and no state is immune to further terrorist activities in
different corners of the world. The President expressed the fear that
yesterday's events might strengthen the hands of the crazy
assailants.
President Katsav noted that the atmosphere of terror created by some
of the Islamic states such as Iran, Syria as well as the Palestinian
Authority fosters incitement which leads to violence and terrorism.
