My letter to the New York Times RE Squandering the Moment editorial

RE: Squandering the Moment

Dear Editor,

I think The New York Times is squandering the moment- why aren't you calling on all Americans to withdraw ALL support for Israel's illegal settlement projects ? And why aren't you calling on all Israelis to do the right thing- stop usurping Palestinian land, rights and life...

Last week, Dr. Hussein Ibish, (Senior Fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP))
pointedly asks in his article Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning? : "Is the Israeli prime minister determined to sabotage the Obama peace initiative for ideological and/or political imperatives? Is this a sign that Israel is simply going to refuse to do what is necessary to achieve peace, and the end therefore of Obama's hopeful beginning in re-engaging with the peace process?" http://www.ibishblog.com/blog/hibish/2009/09/04/beginning_end_or_end_beginning

Your readers worldwide have the power and the influence to help push both Israel and Palestine towards a just and lasting peace- so why aren't you urging us all to make the most of this crucially important opportunity!

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
