Subject: coverage on Israel's anniversary

Dear Editor,

Why is Israel the only country in the world whose Independence Day celebration is explained by The Washington Post by highlighting the view of the side that tried to wipe it out? (Israel's 60th Anniversary - Born at The Dawn of a New State - May 8, 2008) Contrary to your coverage, Israel's 60th anniversary is not about the Palestinian Arabs, whose plight was and is largely self-inflicted. The news about Israel at 60 is of the Jewish state's remarkable successes, in spite of the Arab-Islamic siege. Too bad you missed it.
