I have just visited your website.

I would like to express my support for your courageous actions in opposing
the unwise policies of your government. The photograph and comments about
your attorney general just illustrate how bad things have got.

As a student of modern history, I can well understand the daily hostility
and pressure that you must be facing to conform to official policy. The
dissident's road is always a lonely one, and never more so than when a state
of war exists.

I only wish leading politicians in Britain could find as much courage as you
have and condemn Israeli state actions for what they are. They were quick to
condemn oppression in Yugoslavia in 1999, yet now seem curiously unable to
focus on similar actions by Israeli forces.

Perhaps they are afraid of upsetting Sharon's American paymasters.

I wish I could say that I was sure that you will win through in the end, but
if you fail, I am sure that it will not be for want of trying.

Best regards,

Mark Westcott,
Eastbourne,
