Dear Editor:
 
Ms. Anne Bayefsky's diatribe is clearly endless :{ " A dangerous UN 
game" Oct. 3}. The UN and the rest of the world is biased against Israel, we are 
told. However Israel is allowed to wage aggresive wars against its neighbours 
and maintain an illegal occupation for 35 years, in defiance of 
international law and repeated Security Council resolutions. Throughout this 
occupation, Israel is violating virtually every article of the Fourth 
Geneva Convention, acts which are tantamount to war crimes, as defined 
by international law. To Ms. Bayefsky the atrocites and war crimes committed in 
Jenin are a myth. These very acts have been clearly identified as war 
crimes by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, 
Israeli human rights organisation B'Tselem and many UN 
observers. If these crimes are a myth, why does Israel refuse to allow UN 
inspectors, as ordered in Security Council resolution #1405, and is allowed to 
receive a deafening silence from the very governments that are planning to wage 
war against Iraq for interference with UN inspectors? This is not to mention 
that Israel aleady has nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass 
destruction. Israel has already used its chemical weapons in the attempt to 
assassinate Khalid Meshal, in Amman, in 1997, when, the then prime minister, 
Benjamin Netanyahu sent his Mossad agents, carrying Canadian passports, to 
Amman, Jordan. Israel is also working on the development of The Ethnic 
Bomb, that would kill Arabs and spare Jews, at its Biological Institute 
in Nes Tziyona { The Sunday Times and 
The Calgary Herald  and The 
Sunday Herald [Halifax] Nov. 15, 1998].
 
How long must Israel remain above international law, and its 
unquestioning apologists allowed this campaign of disinformation?
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Ismail Zayid, MD.
