Letters

Editor: Talking to a few people from the community, I noticed their disappointment with the content of a letter written by Naftali Lavie (Bulletin, Feb. 8). He was advocating for the return of all Arab refugees to Israel. I must admit that his remarks, however unreasonable and regrettable, are not the craziest ones put forward. A month or so ago, there was a letter published in the Bulletin sent from California by Carla Schick. In it she was propagandizing the return of millions of refugees to Israel and at the same time compulsory evacuation of all Israeli settlements! Such a statement would amaze even the most extreme Arabs.

I don't think that such letters should be taken seriously. Of course, it is very strange to watch Jews proposing the destruction of the Jewish state. Fortunately, it will not happen, because it is only up to Israelis to decide whether or not they want to commit suicide. People writing such things as Ms. Schick and Mr. Lavie, in my opinion, are just attention-seekers wanting their name to be shown on the soap opera page run by the paper.

They must be aware of the fact that they are a very minuscule minority among the Jews, and this inflames their imagination even further. However, as an old Chinese proverb says "Dogs bark, bark, but the wind blows, blows." Let them entertain themselves!
