Subject: Israel's
unique immunity from criticism
The Editor,
The Guardian

Dear Editor:
William Darlymple's comment
on Israel reporting {"Bullied into submission"
March 22} deserves hearty applause for its courage and
timeliness. It is worthy of note that we can freely
criticise the policies of Britain, the US, Canada and
any other government. But,according to Mr. Conrad Black
and his Zionist associates, no one is allowed to
criticise the policies of Israel. That is antisemitism.
It is through this practice of intimidation and innuendo
that Black and his cohorts are succeeding in preventing
free-thinking people from challenging Israel's plicies
of brutal occupation, violation of human rights of
Palestinians, racism and continuing defiance of
international law and the Fourth Geneva
Convention.
It is baffling to
understand how has Israel acquired this unique
immunity from criticism, that no other nation
is entitled to.
Yours
sincerely
Ismail Zayid,
MD.
