From David Meir-Levi:
Below are two letters from me to editors of small newspapers, critiquing the op-ed essays of Christians who came back from a tour of the Middle East with the conclusion that Israel is the problem and if only Israel would stop harassing the Palestinians, things would be fine.

More misleading media…

To: The Editor, Charleston Courier
Mike Mooneyham’s “Pursuing the difficult road to peace” (Charleston Courier, 12 December, 2005) tells an uplifting tale of Ashley Souther’s humanitarian application of wrestling to the wants and needs of a tragically impoverished people.

The secretary-general of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, provided an example of both ways in recent weeks. When the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stated on October 26 that "the regime […]
