Subject: Sad day for Western civilisation.
June 12, 2005.
The Editor,
Guardian Weekly.
Dear Editor:
In your article, June 10, Israeli settlers,
refusing withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, claim: " It's a fight for western
civilisation." It is a sad day for Western
civilisation if it is built on stealing other people's land, demolishing their
homes and subjecting them to daily humiliation, amongst the other crimes
committed against the Palestinian people.
Surely the people and leaders of the
Western world hold their civilisation to a higher standard and we hope
will voice their revulsion against this claim?
Yours sincerely,
Ismail Zayid, MD.
