The Editor,
The Globe & Mail.
Dear Editor:
The Globe & Mail continues to excel at providing the platform for the
bias and falsehoods of Anne Bayefsky [Dec.24] and her likes of unquestioning
Israel apologists.
Ms. Bayefsky is critical of the UN concern for the atrocious
conditions that Palestinian children are subjected to, under the oppressive
illegal Israeli occupation, being denied schooling,health care, adequate
nutrition and all elements of basic humanity. She mentions 100 Israeli children
killed during the last two years, but no mention of the hunreds of Palestinian
children murdered by Israel. She regurgitates the lie about Palestinian
children being used by as human shields by Palestinian 'terrorists' [sic]. She
brings up the total falsehood about the racist teaching in Palestinian
school textbooks. International scholars, like Professor Nathan Brown of George
Washington University, have shown the total falsehood in this charge and
the evidence of hate in Israeli school textbooks. Speaking of anti-Semitism,
there is no mention of the true anti-Semitism, against Arabs, enunciated by
Chief Rabbi Ovadia Yossef, who called for the annihilation of all arabs by
missiles, and Moshe Yaalon, Chief of Staff, who called the Palestinians a
cancer that should be exterminated by chemotherapy and if unsuccessful by
amputation.
It is time that the facts about Israeli oppressive illegal occupation being
exposed and the platform denied for the falsehoods regularly deployed to justify
these atrocities.
Yours sincerely
Ismail Zayid,
MD.
