On Judging the "Facts"

On Judging the "Facts"

Dear Sir,

You continually talk of Israel as expansionist, yet it returned the Sinai in 1956, and today in withdrew from the South of Lebanon. As well as this it has continually staled that it is willing to negotiate on all other territories that it occupies for a guarantee of peace (which seems fair enough). Is this expansionism? Come on you don't have to accept propaganda, you can judge facts as they are, can't you?

Its funny how all we get from you about Israel is how bad it is, and how good the PLO are, you complain about Israel in Lebanon but don't talk of the demonstrations against the PLO by the Lebanese of the South Lebanon, (oh no) or the reconstruction of roading or housing by the Israelis in South Lebanon (these are reported in the Economist, and Time, etc.)

Perhaps that would weaken your case, I mean balance and objectivity are not your style.
