Dear Editor,
Excuse me for writing to you at this time when your mind must be on other matters than thepainting of Gush Shalom personnel as ‘traitors’.
I had thought that El Haaretz was the paper of record in Israel – as respected as the Times here inthe UK.
For you to collaborate with extremist politicians to delegitimise the best hope for peace forIsrael, to label someone a ‘traitor’ just because they are against war crimes and theindiscriminate targeting of civilians – this ranks you with the book burners, thewhite-sheeted pointy-heads in the US, and the worst sort of ignorant nationalists that yourcountry, my country or any other country has produced.
I believe that Gush Shalom are the shining light hidden under the heavy bushel of Zionistnationalism, and you do yourselves and your country a great disservice by maligning them.
Please, for your country’s sake, and for sanity’s sake, find some room to support Gush Shalom.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Greenway
