ERIC BLAIR (or George Orwell as we know him best) would enjoy the debates in your letters page.

Every time I see a letter that is anyway critical of Israel I know that, as sure as night follows day, there will be rebuttals the next day.

This rebuttal will portray Israel as being totally innocent of any wrongdoing and will hint that its critics are ill-informed, anti-Semitic or in the pay of Arab fundamentalists.
