Dear Editor,
The loss of life in Gaza is to be regretted, and the prospect for a peace settlement between Israel and those representing the interests of the Palestinians seems a forlorn hope. As long as Hamas’s charter advocates the destruction of Israel, backed by continuing violence and staged propaganda, no sane Israeli would support the establishment of a Palestinian state.
To a large extent, the Palestinian leadership has failed its own people by pursuing violence rather than dialogue.
Yours faithfully,
Rooplall Dudhnath
