A letter to the editors of Gamla, worth posting for it's shear clarity , historical truth* and simplicity* Interesting comment. I scan the article, and within a few seconds I discover a glaring lie: On May 15, one day after Israel's declaration of statehood, the Arab regimes of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria set their armies in motion with the stridently declared objective of driving the Jews into the sea. History shows they failed. The Arabs had 250,000,000 people, Israel 700,000. The Arabs had 1,500,000 square miles of territory, Israel 4,000. They failed again in 1956 at Suez Of course, 1956 is when Israel launched a surprise invasion of Egypt. This Israeli attempt to drive the Egyptians off their land is rewritten by your "historically truthful" author as an Egyptian attempt to "drive the Jews into the sea". It is obvious to anyone that this author is a pathological liar, but your endorsement of him is noteworthy. Tom
