Letter: Culpability of the Israeli government and army for the Hebron massacre
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The International Fellowship of Reconciliation strongly condemns the premeditated murder in Hebron of so many innocent persons gathered for prayer in a sacred place and urges that both the Gaza region and Hebron (with its immediate outskirts) be placed under a five- or 10-year UN
mandate.
We wish to draw your attention to the regrettable religious connotations inherent in the title of a report on the massacre published last Saturday: 'The slaughter of the innocents'. We hope that this overkill was chosen in all innocence.
Yours faithfully,
