Letter to the Globe - Monday, Sept 7th

Mr. Flynn, in his letter to the editor, states, as part of his proof of the Globe's sophistry, that "there are several Israeli signatures on the protest letter". That's true. The best of Jewish tradition is intellectual discussion and so there are many Jewish opinions on all subjects. This culture attribute results in many Jewish lawyers. The worst of Jewish tradition is intellectual discussion which results on many contrary opinions on all subjects which results in leftist Jews criticizing everything Israel does. So the fact that some Israelis and anti-Jewish Jews lke Naomi Klein follow Jewish argumentative tradition in criticizing Israel is irrelevant. While looking at the signatories to the protest, I noticed three Arab names. Two were listed from Palestine, a non-existent place, and one was from Jenin/Haifa. Two of these Arabs, Juliano Mer Khamis and Anne Marie Jaciv are Israeli citizens. Surely that in itself refutes the "Israel as an apartheid state" argument and speaks well for choosing Tel Aviv as a city in a country which in which its minorities have more rights than any of the surrounding countries.
