    Statement on the Terrorist Bombing in Israel
    January 22, 1995
        I condemn in the strongest possible terms this horrendous act of
    terrorist violence. Once again, the enemies of peace have struck down
    innocent people in an evil effort to destroy the hopes of peaceful
    coexistence between Israelis and Arabs.
        I call on all those who have chosen the path of peace to condemn
    this act and redouble their efforts to achieve a secure and lasting
    peace. The perpetrators of terrorism and their sponsors are determined
    to stop us from achieving this goal. I repeat what I said to them in the
    Middle East last October: ``You cannot succeed. You will not succeed.
    You must not succeed, for you are the past, not the future.''
        On behalf of the American people, I extend our condolences and
    deepest sympathy to the families of the victims.

    Note: The statement referred to the January 22 suicide bombing which
    killed 19 people at a military bus stop near Nordiya, Israel.
