A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION

and a spiritually healthy, physically strong, compassionate, and

loving generation will emerge.
This atmosphere of peace is urgently needed in three prob-
lematic areas of the Islamic world: the Balkans, Central Asia, and
the Middle East. America has a military presence in all these
areas. Every year, it diverts huge funds to Israel because of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. The one-sided and strong influence of the

Israeli lobby over American foreign policy plays an important
role in determining the amount of this aid in the Congress.
Research by economist Thomas Stauffer reveals that aid to Israel
since 1973 has cost the American people a total of $1.6 trillion.
Dividing this amount by America's present population puts this

51
figure at $5,700 per person. America can and does help its allies,
Israel as well as other countries, but removing the basic justifica-
tions for this aid will be a positive development for the American
economy and for the future of Israeli citizens. The atheist zion-
ists' foremost propaganda message states that Israel is under con-
stant threat from its neighbors and therefore needs to defend it-

self. There have been wars and skirmishes between Israel and
neighboring Arab countries for decades, and tension still exists
between them. However, this situation was not created by just
one party to the conflict. Under the influence of atheistic zionism,

Israel has often pursued aggressive and antagonistic policies.
It is not difficult to change this situation and allow both peo-
ples to find peace and security. The formation of the Turkish
Islamic Union will be an important step toward peace in the region,
for it will protect the rights of Christians and Jews living in the
Middle East and the rest of the Islamic world, so that the West will

have no need to devise separate strategies and commit funds for
their protection.
