occupation.

The Editor,
The Globe & Mail
Dear Editor:
In your editorial:{ " Israel's right to react" Oct. 7}, You object to
international condemnation of Israeli attack on Syrian territory. You
ask::
" What would France do if terrorists supported by Spain were blowing
up cafes in Paris every week or so?" The answer is simple. If France was
occupying Spanish territory, sending its Apaches to bomb and kill
daily Spanish men, women and children, demolishing their homes,
exproprieting their property and subjecting them to daily humiliation, a Spanish
response would not be surprising.
You ask what should be Israel's response? The answer again is simple.
Israel must abide by international law and terminate completely its
illegal occupation of Palestinian and Syrian territory that has been
allowed to stand for 36 years, in defiance of international law and repeated
Security Council resolutions.
Yours sincerely,
Ismail Zayid.
