It is curious the anonymous correspondent failed to mention, in his anti-British diatribe, the terrorist Jewish organisation Irgun Zwei Leumi, which blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem and other sites, killing many British people.

Reading his incorrect account, one can only wonder why he accepts the hospitality of our apparently wicked country.

He might like to reflect on the great number of British people who have been slaughtered by the IRA over the years and how the UK has dealt with it.

Not by shooting at stone-throwing children or sending in the tanks and bombers to the Republic of Ireland to destroy the civilian population and their homes.

The Israelite tribe has no more claim to Palestine than the Apaches and other tribes have to North America.

The sooner they forget their primitive eye-for-an-eye philosophy and start acting in a civilised way, the sooner peace will come to the Middle East.
