My letter in the Jerusalem Post
- - - - by Batya
Apparently one of my short and to the point letters made it into the Jerusalem Post--
For those having problems getting letters in the paper, I advise brevity, the shorter the better. Summarize what you want to say. Letters aren't essays. It's very important for us to get our opinions in the press. Better ten two-sentence letters, than one or two long ones. Also there's a better chance that those who don't agree with us will read a couple of lines, rather than something longer and more detailed. We're not out to preach to the converted. We just want to help the undecided get convinced that we're right and put cracks, poke holes, in the certainty of our opponents. Short quick jabs. Also, it helps to use their terminology to prove our points.
Sorry but I don't have the link.
Sir,
MK Arye Eldad is only calling for civil disobedience, like the Indian Gandhi did over 60 years ago. Trying to shut him up, prosecute him and jail him is immoral and against all principles of democracy and liberalism.
