Cultural revolution a must for a Jewish state to survive

While Dr Kevin McCarthy’s previous predictions on the outcome of the recent Israeli election were way off the mark, he’s on safer ground when he quotes (Irish Examiner, Letters, March 31) from the excellent survey of attitudes in Gaza, which was carried out by the reliable Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research. 

The survey shows the indomitable spirit of the people of Gaza in the face of the illegal blockade, and the many onslaughts carried out by the Israeli military.

The Hamas rockets he mentions are mere pin-pricks compared to the massive munitions used by Israel on Gaza, with homes, schools and hospitals subjected to vindictive attacks.
