Blaming Israelis the easiest thing to do

IN response to Eilish Moloney’s letter headlined ‘No way back for a child to a country that was once at peace’ (Irish Examiner letters, August 8), I suppose her story was very touching for those who want to sympathise — but her words didn’t touch my heart.

I am an Irish-Israeli citizen who has been living underground for the last month while an average of 180 rockets a day pound the northern towns of Israel, deliberately killing and maiming innocent people and ruining our country.

Half a million residents have been displaced and another half a million are living underground.
