Subject: Peace with justice.

The Editor,

The Globe & Mail

 

Dear Editor:

 

Mark Mackinnon, playing Peacemaker {" Gamers unite! Your goal? Peace in the Middle East" March 12}, presents a fairly balanced picture of the facts on the ground. His campaign for peace should be calling on both parties to comply with international law, so that peace can be assured for all. Israel should be called upon to terminate completely its forty years' illegal occupation of Palestinian land and implement UN resolutions related to the longstanding refugee problem. The Palestinians and Arab states should be called upon to accept to live in peace with their Israeli neighbours, as formulated in the Saudi peace plan of 2002.

 

Thus, only with justice can peace and security be assured for Palestinians and Israelis in this tortured land.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Ismail Zayid, MD
