Letter to the Associated Press
Dear Editor,
Please correct. The article "Israel on Iran: Anything it takes to stop nukes" (Jul 27, 2009) mentioned "the expansion of Jewish settlements on Arab land." I assume you mean in the West Bank. Presently, the West Bank is not Arab land or Arab territory. Saying it is does not make it so but it does confuse the reader. Should Israel and the Palestinians come to terms and create a Palestinian state in the West Bank, then your words would be correct. Using the term "Arab land" is premature as the area is still in dispute.
Thank you,
Michael Berenhaus
