My point, if you can control your angry bias sfficiently to read my letter properly is that there is a doubt on the matter and there does appear to be evidence that the Palestinians have in fact doctored evidence. This should lead logically to some concern about the accuracy of the reports.
The question of Sharia law I admit was a diversion from the main theme but it cannot be dismissed from discussions on the Middle East and I am un ashamedly a passionate supporter of liberal democracy, a form of political organisation that is being embraced not only in the Christian West but in Hindu India and Shinto / Buhdist Japan and now in Muslim Indonesia. Where Sharia law has been practiced in countries such as Afghanistan and Iran the results are hardly promising. And I have reasons to suspect this will be introduced gradually by Hamas.
This is what must frighten Israel.
