Letter: Self-interest is key to Arab-Israeli peace
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: We were horrified to hear about yet another atrocity and send our condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and injured on Wednesday in Afula. We are aware that Israelis feared a reprisal for the Hebron massacre, yet that should not allow us to accept the apparent inevitability of daily killings and injuries, which only add to the sense of frustration felt by both Israelis and Palestinians.
Even once agreement has been reached and documents signed, extremist elements on both sides will seek to undermine any co-operation achieved: Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been so badly misinterpreted to justify violence. We must now heed the true essence of our spiritual teachings and seek instead justice, reconciliation and humanity.
Yours faithfully,
