Subject: How about Israeli compliance
with international Law?
The Editor
The Globe & Mail
Dear Editor:
Norman Spector is at it again; re-writing history
{ " Take a deep breath before you start pushing Israel" Nov. 15}.
All Israel is required to do is implement Security Council resolutions and
comply with international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Messrs Bush and Blair are blowing hot and cold
about "war on terrorism." Strangely, however, not a word is
mentioned about Israel, where state terrorism has been its
regular practice since its creation and continues to this day. This terrorism
has not been limited to Palestinians and Arabs but it included Europeans, the
U.S. and even Jews. The catalogue is lengthy but I will let an Israeli man of
courage tell it as it is. The late Professor Israel Shahak, a
Holocaust survivor, and then Chairman of Israeli League for Human and
Civil Rights, stated: " There is nothing new in the fact that
Israel is a terrorist state, which, almost from its inception, has used its
intelligence service [the Mossad] to assassinate people on foreign soil with
any violence or terror it considers necessary for its ends."
How long must Israel remain above international
law?
Yours sincerely
Ismail Zayid, MD.
