Israeli support will bring peace

Martin Gleeson's call for a boycott against Israel (Irish Examiner, July 29) is naive in the extreme.

Israeli support will bring peace

His letter reeks of anti-Israel invective and it is evident that he harbours a deep hatred of the State of Israel.

For people like Gleeson, nothing that Israel does in the defence of its citizens is acceptable. Israel’s attack on the terrorist leader Shehadeh, murderer of hundreds of innocent Israelis, was a necessary act of self-defence.

The way to increase the chances of war is to boycott Israel and thus embolden the Arab states who wish to destroy the state.

The way to bring peace is to wholeheartedly support the democratic and decent State of Israel in its just war against terror.
