Post Letter: Israel, Palestine should focus on peace
Feb. 13, 2013This letter is in response to Eliot Kalman’s Feb. 11 letter and Stephen Pearson’s Feb. 7 letter to The Post. To Pearson: Yes, you’re right; in 1948, Palestinians were forced off their land. That was a terrible injustice, but what are you going to do? Kick the Israelis off the land that they’ve built their lives on for the past 65-plus years? We cannot consider kicking people off land a way of making right for another person being kicked off land. It’s the past, it’s awful, but we cannot change it.
