IS attacks can’t be used to excuse Israeli policy

Kevin McCarthy (Irish Examiner, Letters, November 6) and the press officer at the Israeli embassy (Irish Examiner, November 28) sing from the same hymn book.

It is obscene for them to use condemnation of IS terrorism in Paris to excuse Israeli action in Palestine.

In recent years, IS terrorists have robbed thousands of innocent people of their lives and freedom — the recent, horrific Paris massacre representing only a fragment of their evil-doing. For several decades, Israeli state terrorists have robbed thousands of Palestinians of their land, freedom, dignity and lives.
