View from Ramallah reaction
I was very surprised to find a political essay in your professional magazine.The writer calls himself an architect but lacks any realistic vision. The subject of a suffering people cannot ignore the main cause of this suffering which is the Palestinian terror which is managed from Ramallah by the Palestinian 'leadership'.
But what has all this to do with your magazine? No doubt you fell into a political trap prepared for you by interested political groups. But the most intriguing fact in your essay is the fact that the writer claims to be a Jew so the reader will be convinced that he is objective. To this I have this comment: The war enforced on Israel by the Palestinians is a war against the Jewish people run by Islamic fanatics. During our sad history from time to time we find Jews that put themselves as tools in the hands of our enemies which is just this case.
