Middle East problems
Sir,—ln reply to my letter (October 2), your pro-Zionist correspondents (Baruch, Crawley, Adams, Etherington, Franklin, and Davis) did not in any way refute my basic argument. Instead they have engaged in cheap character assassination and- vague accusations of anti-Semitic bias. Such asinine comments do a disservice to the Jewish victims of the holocaust while obscuring the basic issues in the present debate. I am heartened, meanwhile, by the recent United States peace initiative which seeks to broaden the
provisions of the Camp David accords by entrusting the West Bank to Jordan while calling for a halt to illegal Jewish settlements. The Arab peace initiative at Fez (September) in renewing demands for a Palestinian state on the West Bank is not essentially incompatible with the United States approach. It is to be hoped that a political dialogue between all the major parties will follow in the wake of the madness which has so beset Lebanon in recent weeks. — Yours, etc., DR RON MacINTYRE. October 14, 1982.
