The world needs to hear

Letters

Editor: In reference to the cover articles by Pat Johnson in the Oct. 22 Bulletin ("Apartheid comparison fails" and "PA media urge genocide"), I am very impressed by the clear explanation of what is really being propagated for the Palestinian youth and how it is really affecting any possibility of achieving peace in the Middle East.

If I had not been receiving the Bulletin, I would not have as clear a picture of the impact of the clergy in Palestine and of the emotional outcome, as well as the rest of the propaganda.

I ask this question: What are we afraid of? What more can anybody do to us as a people struggling for survival. Why cannot my non-Jewish neighbors and friends read this same message in the local newspapers? We have to be heard. I'm fed up with hiding. Let the world hear what is really going on. I'm a retired language teacher and a psychotherapist. Please listen.
