Letter to the editor

To the Editor:

I am appalled at the one-sided onslaught against Israel that’s being directed in part through your columns. I say this as one who has fought for many years against both the occupation and concomitant bad treatment of Arabs in Israel. Moreover, my photographs showing the conflict have been published both by Columbia Magazine and the world over.
Nonetheless, the worst apartheid on earth continues to be practiced by the Muslim world not only against Israel but against Jews in general. This has been going on since the day of its birth and remains the underlying cause of the conflict.
Sad thing is that so many both here and elsewhere have really begun to believe a big lie that’s so disproportional—it only exacerbates rather than contributes to resolution of the tragedy.

Respectfully,
