Letter: Balance sought on Middle East

Thursday, July 12, 2001 | 8:39 a.m.

I've lived in Las Vegas for 10 years, and for 10 years I've had to read your pro-Israel lobby columns. How about a little balance to your stance?

I just returned from a extensive tour of Israel, and I would venture to say that the 2 million Arabs who live in Israel don't find it "democratic." They are second-class citizens who don't benefit one iota from the social system.

As to killing of children, how about the death ratio of Arab to Jew. Last time I saw anything it was about 90 percent to 10 percent in favor of Arab deaths. I'm sure many more than 20 Arab children have been murdered by your side.

How Brian Greenspun can write a column in favor of the great hero of the Sabra and Chatilla camps is unreal. Let's see a little balance. Your columns remind me of the Review-Journal -- no balance.
