TO THE EDITOR:
To Ken Norman, Students for Palestine, Coalition for Peace with Justice: You are one of many phony human rights groups working against Israel (Jew and Arab citizens) and their right to defend themselves. You’re fighting a war you will never win.
Associations such as SJP work together across the country to paint Israel as the world’s worst human rights abuser. It starts with impressionable students, out of their glass houses for the first time, who attend University with a limited knowledge of world events—a perfect target for your propaganda machine.
I implore all of you to study Israel (which includes Jewish and Arab citizens) and look at the contributions they have made in the fields of arts, bio-tech, medicine and music. Can surrounding Arab countries claim the same? The Arab-Israeli conflict is not Israel’s fault and I am proud to be a supporter of the bravest nation on earth.
