Vesteraalen is
my local paper and loves publishing comments and views on local and
international issues. Fairly often something
is published about Israel, and frequently with a
Pro-Netanyahu view. Anyway, one day I felt enough is enough.
Below you find my response:

Regularly Bladet
Vesteraalen has articles
defending Israel. In a well-known retoric there is no mentioning of
the root causes of the conflict between Palestine and Israel In stead
the articles deal with how misunderstood Israel´s motives and
actions are. Consequently the discussion is conducted on the premises
of Netanyahu, the opressive regime of today´s Israel. The discussion
is systematically neglecting the factual policy Israel as a state is
conducting against the Palestinians. The articles vouch for a regime
that today is occupying and subjugating a whole nation.
The
Nobel Laureate, Bishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa, doesn´t mince
his words and caracterizes the regime in Israel as worse than the one
excisting during the Apartheid Era in South Africa. It should suffice
to refer to the Wall
Israel has built, streight through Palestine, to underscore the
point. The UN is, in a report of this year, documenting humanitarian
crimes commited by the State of Israel. All together, they are not
few. Consequently it doesn´t suffice to depict a glossy picture of
Israel with no root in reality.
