The Editor,
The Halifax Herald.
Dear Editor:
Tim Golden, in his article {"Land dreams collide" July 6},
states : " Israeli policy has largely been shaped by the most militant settlers,
Jews who occupy land they believed was deeded to them in the Bible."
We were not aware that God was a real-estate agent and the
Bible is a Registry of Deeds. These settlements, built on
expropriated Palestinan land, are illegal, as defined by international law,
the Fourth Geneva Convention and Security Council reolutions. It is time that
this stolen land is returned to its rightful owners, and Israel is made to
comply with international law.
Yours Sincerely
Ismail Zayid, M.D.
