JEWISH TELEGRAPH ONLINE - Letters to the Editor

It s not just Gaza we have enemies here, too

THE two MPs sent packing by Israel, Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, planned to spread anti-Israel hatred and to document activities of security forces.

Few supporters of Israel will disagree with Israel’s decision to deny the two British MPs entry.

But what of others whose behaviour is minacious to Israel’s people and security?

Just take a look at these words in a recent letter produced by Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) and signed-up to by Church of Scotland emissaries, Friends of St Andrew’s Jerusalem & Tiberias: “Jesus, an indigenous Palestinian Jew born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth” and “Our siblings in Christ are under direct threat from the Israeli authorities”.

Then there is “We stand together with all Palestinian communities struggling against ethnic cleansing, cultural erasure and genocide”.

Plus “We condemn the demand that the occupied West Bank be referred to as Judea and Samaria. Doing so is an act of philosophical erasure”.

While Israel fights a vicious enemy in Gaza, an equally dangerous opponent, imported from Scotland, hides in plain sight.
