Rapid Response:

The Tragedy that is Palestine.

I was very impressed by the balanced paper by Dr. Summerfield on the
ongoing horror in Palestine.Having worked in Qatar for over twenty years
with Palestinian medical and nursing colleagues I am very aware of the
continued injustice meted out to those Arabs in their own country.All the
brave talk by politicians in the UK and USA on road maps to peace can be
seen for what it realy is empty words .

The situation is very depressing .I only hope that Jews both inside and
outside Israel like Professor Eva Kohner,able to see the Palestinian view
and to courageously admit this in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, may be
able to influence others.
