pussyfooting..."

The Editor,

Dear Editor:
Rick Salutin deserves full credit for his integrity, in telling it as
it is, in his column:{" No more pussyfooting around on Israel, Mr. Bush." June
13}. As Mr. Salutin states: " The solution is fairly clear : an end to
Israel's occupation, by far the most aggravating factor.....The United States
could do this through economic or political pressure..".
The only way to obtain peace and security for Israelis and
Palestinians is by complete termination of the illegal
Israeli occupation, that has been allowed to stand for 36 years, in
defiance of international law and repeated Security Council resolutions. The
call for negotiation between the occupier and the occupied is illegitimate and
has no basis in international law.
Yours sincerely,
Ismail Zayid,M.D.
