Mark Khano New York Thank you for publishing the March 1 article on the efforts of brave Israeli historians like Benny Morris who are endeavoring to reveal the ugly reality behind Israel's founding. Because other major newspapers ignore this historical background, many Americans wrongfully believe that the Palestinians are interlopers, something which inhibits a realistic view of the conflict. We do not and anyone who does enter into this practice is excommunicated. They can no longer be called a member of our church. This is a situation often misunderstood and should be portrayed accurately if it is to be part of an article.
People believe what they read in the news.
Church President Gordon Hinckley has spoken publicly on this very topic and it should have been easily found by your reporter and portrayed accurately. Anyway, thanks for standing up for values daily. The Monitor welcomes your letters and opinion articles. Due to the volume of mail, only a selection can be published, and we can neither acknowledge nor return unpublished submissions. All submissions are subject to editing.
