Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
Thought you might like to read this very moving letter (last year- so I'm afraid you might think it out-of date, and you might think the nurse Antisemitic because she doesn't support the Israeli version of events!!!)

It is not out of date, but nothing she writes contradicts the Israeli version.

Robert Fisk. "Nor, let it be said – in 30 years – has a single Arab leader bothered to visit the last resting place of at least 600 of the 1,700 victims. Arab potentates bleed in their hearts for the Palestinians but an airfare to Beirut might be a bit much these days – and which of them would want to offend the Israelis or the Americans?

It is an irony – but an important one, nonetheless – that the only nation to hold a serious official enquiry into the massacre, albeit flawed, was Israel. "
