Thank you for your consistently clear appraisal of the Israeli situation.

It should be remembered that the former Jordanian king killed over 20,000 Palestinians who tried to wrest his kingdom away from him and the world stood by and said nothing.

It should also be remembered that Jordan was to have been a part of Israel, except that the British "gave it away" as proudly acknowledged by Churchill's son, "My father created the map of the Middle East."
