Dear Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
It seems queer in a democratic state toconsider legal steps against the peace movement Gush Shalom, for their sendingwarning letters to officers who have been actually boasting about acts which areviolating the Geneva Conventions Gush Shalom has made use of its democraticrights, and fulfilled in a way a civilian duty: guarding moral and upheldinglegal principles.
As a former Jewish refugee from the German occupation of Denmark I certainlythink the warning to the officers is essential according to principles of theNuremberg Court.
A government which starts legal procedures against a peace group for alertingthem, does create the suspicion that it has something to hide – an impressionwhich already rose by its keeping the press away.
