Thanks for printing Akiva Segan’s letter (“Inflammatory words,” April 1). There is so much hatred in the world.
Mr. Basson’s description of Palestinians as savages is not going to help break down barriers and walls, nor lead to the face-to-face dialogue and negotiations necessary to achieve a two-state solution and peace. It certainly doesn’t show any sympathy for the vast majority of Palestinians who are not terrorists, but struggle to live their daily lives, and have so struggled for several generations, in an oppressive apartheid-like environment.
