My (unpublished) contribution to the Herald went as follows: David Knoll and Robert Goot (SMH, letters, 12/3/08) unfairly malign your correspondent Alan Ramsey, using the underhand tactic of suggesting that he is an anti Semite without actually spelling it out. Their letter has too many falsehoods to address here. Israel has withdrawn from Gaza? Only to strangle its economy, starve its people and inflict unbelievable misery. Israel a "thriving democracy"? Israeli Arabs (20% of the population) are legally discriminated against on many fronts and parties exist in the Knesset who advocate the permanent removal of Arab citizens from Israel - this is hardly democracy as we know it in Australia. The cream on the cake is the Aussie angle that attempts to link the legacy of the Anzacs with the eventual emergence of a Jewish state in Palestine. I was offended by their letter too.
