The Editor,

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.
