Dear Editor,
Cohen's "Hard Mideast Truths" obviously speaks to Jewish Americans. I think you should find another columnist whose background and sensibility is more in tune with Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans as well as American-Americans to help explain hard truths in more relevant ways.
You are already very much helping pro-Israel readers deal with what Israel will become- please also help pro-Palestine readers deal with what Palestine will become, so that we can all move forward in more positive definitive two separate state directions working side by side in peace.
Might I suggest you contact ATFP (The American Task Force on Palestine) for they are quite serious about both Palestine and peace... and I think they could help you find some wonderful writers and thinkers who understand how to speak truth to power.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
