Letter to the editor

Dear Editor:

How dare Golden Gater, May 11) that Jews try to live in peace with the Arabs -- when they kill and torture the Palestinians, when they destroy our villages.

How dare he state that the Jews legally bought land in Palestine, when it was an illegal purchase. Palestinians were kicked off their land into multiple refugee camps.

Why has the land confiscation rate by the Israeli government increased by 12 percent over the past two years, even after the peace treaty was signed?

What irritates me the most is that the Zionist Jews claim they do what they do for God. But surely God does not condone this injustice done in His name to the Palestinians.

The Palestinians were in Palestine long before Columbus set foot in this hemisphere. Why Columbus? He was neither Arab nor Israeli? How does he fit in? Do you, Pelta, just make up these ridiculous false claims because you want to give the impression of knowledge? Where do you think the ancient Philistines and Phoenicians were before Columbus' time? China? No. Palestine.

I don't hate you, Mordechai, rather I pity you. You obviously don't understand the Arab-Israeli situation, or the history.

Palestine is the home of the Palestinians. We will never cease to struggle for the liberation of our land, our home and our people.

LONG LIVE PALESTINE!
