Best wishes from England

Supporting Gush Shalom against war crimes. A letter from Mark Westcott

I have just visited your website.

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

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

I only wish leading politicians in Britain could find as much courage as youhave and condemn Israeli state actions for what they are. They were quick tocondemn oppression in Yugoslavia in 1999, yet now seem curiously unable tofocus 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, butif you fail, I am sure that it will not be for want of trying.

Best regards,

Mark Westcott,

Eastbourne,
