View from Ramallah reaction Sir: I was outraged to see your May 2002 issue with its 4-page article titled View from Ramallah (p32). Tom Kay may be Jewish and may be an architect, but either than that there is absolutely no connection whatsoever between his political opinions and a respectful architectural magazine. I see your compliance to publishing this man’s diary as completely inappropriate, not to say shamefully one-sided and deeply biased. How dare you associate a picture of broken sunglasses with Auschwitz and Nazi Germany? As a descendant to a family whose complete members were executed in the gas chambers in Auschwitz and as someone who has lived for a long time in Israel and has seen the war in the West Bank and Gaza from up-close, I find this comparison profoundly offending. I can’t even begin to think of how a rational person can equate a political-based war (be it right or wrong) with the mass annihilation of a whole nation. I can’t even believe that I’m actually writing this to an architectural magazine that seemingly deals with architecture and the built environment. I find this whole affair as very sad and extremely disgraceful. Respectfully, OMER BARR
