Sir: I commend Oren Ben-Dor's courage in stating the reality of events through the smoke-screen of spin and doublespeak. In Professor Ben-Dor's case, as his hometown Nahariya has been directly affected, it is a special act of bravery to speak out with clarity and reason.
Israel repeatedly hides its actions behind the justification that it is waging war on terror and terrorists. Its government officials and military spokespersons continually use the word "terror". Everyone who stands against them, it seems, politically or militarily, is a terrorist.
If terrorism is the creation of terror and panic in civilian populations to achieve political ends, Israel fits the bill. Its actions in Gaza and Lebanon cannot be justified as a military response on a military adversary, but are clearly an act of collective punishment against entire populations. This can only breed more hatred and extremism and continue the cycle of violence. Is this really what Israel desires?
