Cultural boycott of Israel

Sir, – Whenever someone stands up for the rights of the people of Palestine under Israeli occupation, Israeli supporters invariably ask, why are you picking on us? (Letters, November 11th)

Why, they ask, don’t Palestinian sympathisers support Uighurs in China or Armenians in Turkey? The simple answer is that they stand up for justice and equality in all nations.

The longing for justice and equality is universal and I would suggest that the suspicions of Mr Williams are ill-founded.
