Refugees not the issue

Letters

Editor: I don't want to get involved in the current controversy in your paper, however, I think you missed the point when you said the issue is one of Palestinian refugees. It is not. All fair-minded people want justice for both "sides" in the Middle East. This issue is about the amount of attention given a small but vocal (and close-minded) group of people who do not want to hear another side. Israel, warts and all, must be supported as the only homeland for the Jewish people.

I would appreciate as much attention given to the more positive aspects of our community. For example, the Louis Brier Home and Hospital and the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver.
