Letter to ABC

My response to ABC: In "Fact Checking the Debate in Iowa", about Palestinians being an invented people; if Palestinians were "relatively unified", why, in 1947 was the Jewish newspaper called the Palestine Post, the Jewish symphony called the Palestine Symphony Orchestra. The Arab groups had no such names; and that is because, by and large, they didn't view themselves as a separate entity from the entire Arab world. It seems the unnamed scholars that you cited were agenda-driven. ----------------------------------------------------- My response on their "comments" below the article: Fact-check 6. These fact-checkers need fact-checkers. Israel doesn't retaliate against the rockets - it responds to them. And if rockets were landing in America from Mexico, killing few; wouldn't America respond? The writer seems to negate the rocket attacks by explaining away that the Israeli response has caused more casualties. What nonsense! ------------------------------------------------------ The article: http://news.yahoo.com/fact-checking-debate-iowa-024602587.html
