Ceasefire is wishful thinking

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Over the past week two columnists, Alicia Wallace and Peter Young have written about the war in Gaza. Both have commented about a possible ceasefire between the Israelis and the Hamas government in Gaza. They have commented on recognition of a Palestine State as a solution.

Most of these observations are wishful thinking. Until such time as the Hamas terrorist group is eliminated and a moderate government takes over in Palestinian areas there will be no peace or progress. Talk of a two state solution may be ideal. However, as long as the Iran-backed terrorists continue to call for the destruction of Israel and the killing of the Jews there is no solution.

Israel has been besieged by hostile neighbours from its inception. Peace treaties with Egypt, Jordan and most recently with other neighbours has been a step forward for the future. However, this will not end the conflict. Israel has a right to defend itself and to seek the return of the hostages taken by Hamas. God gave the Jewish people their land as well outlined in The Bible.

Johnson,

The bible is a real estate guide. After 2000 years, people with no genetic connection to this land? Obviously, you do not read. Does the rest of the world have it completely wrong? Wake up.

April 10, 1948 Mr. Shepard Rifkin Exec.Director: American Friends of the Fighters for the Freedom of Israel 149 Second Ave. New York 3,N.Y.

Dear Sir:

When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the Terrorist organizations build up from our own ranks.

I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people.

Sincerely yours,

'The bible is a real estate guide. After 2000 years, people with no genetic connection to this land? Obviously, you do not read' You are up early with your normal drivel. Israel/Palestine has been inhabited by jews, christians and muslims for over two thousand years. You obviously need to read . There were two kingdoms in what is now modern day Israel; the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. That might constitute a connection.

Stick to your bible, Johnson. Obviously the only thing you read. Sad that you cannot join the international community that is roundly condemning Israel. You do realize that Israel is finished, right?
