SIR Maerton Daviss letter (10/4/2020), posted from Kfar Vradim, the industrial settlement founded by the Israeli Jewish businessman Stef Wertheimer on stolen Palestinian land in the Galilee, is full of misleading inaccuracies, both historical and contemporary.

SIR Robert AH Cohen, a British Jew and broadcast journalist, asks some important questions of those who support Zionism, such as Rowe, Adam and Davis, whose letters offer only propaganda and never serious reflection or concern for casualties to the Israeli -Palestinian conflict on both sides. In spite of its many new allies, Zionism is under enormous pressure from within as more Jews, in Israel and elsewhere, come to question the wisdom of maintaining a Zionist state that consecrates discrimination and fuels violence.
