Letter of the Month – January 2012
February 2, 2012 15:02 by Simon Plosker
Only one out of eight letters published by The Guardian in response to accusations of Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian child detainees took Israel’s side. While it may have been short (or perhaps edited for length by The Guardian), HR subscriber Robert Simonofsky of New Jersey, USA wins January’s Letter of the Month by virtue of getting his letter into The Guardian.
His letter of January 25 is succinct and to the point:
Your paper, in collaboration with Defence for Children International, has falsely portrayed Israel as a country that tolerates the torture and abuse of Palestinian children, which is definitively not the case. Having to arrest, prosecute and imprison minors is by its very nature a difficult issue. Unfortunately, Israel has been forced out of necessity to address a problem arising from Palestinian society. So where then is the real child abuse?
Robert can look forward to receiving something special from HonestReporting in the mail very soon for his efforts.
Remember to keep writing those letters and let us know if you are published!

All the truth needs to be told is to refer the news media to the hate incitement of Palestinian children by Arab media .

Clearly, the Guardian is not interested in allowing even one pro-Israel letter to be printed in its entirety. The letter above, though good, has obviously been severely shortened. It refers to “a problem arising from Palestinian society” but does not even mention what that problem is! Obviously, the letter writer wanted to explain the serious problem of hate indoctrination and the glorification of violence that Arab children learn (and the strapping of bombs on children for jihad), but those facts are simply intolerable for the Israel-hating Guardian. Pathetic that even when the Guardian prints just one pro-Israel letter, the letter is edited so heavily that the key information is left out. The Guardian is utterly hopeless.

Not much point in writing
to the Guardian. They have theirh agenda, truth, accuracy,
history, justice are not
always uppermost on that agenda. Villifying
The Jewish statr is.
