Sir, - I totally agree with the letter from Maurice Abrahamson of the Jewish Representative Council. However, we must also not forget the terrible suffering of the Palestinian people and the terrible injustices they have had to bear. Terrorism doesn't grow without a reason. The Israeli independence movement also resorted to terrorist tactics in its struggle.
Only when the people of Israel understand the frustrations of the Palestinian people and the injustices that have been heaped upon them and the Palestinian people come to understand the needs and rights of the people of Israel can there be peace. One should always try to see both sides of the story. - Yours, etc.,
