We were very disappointed to read your article ‘To Resist is to Exist’. The article contained several factual errors and omissions which led to conclusions that we dispute. For example, there is ample evidence that in the areas where the Separation Wall has been completed, the number of hostile infiltrations into Israel has decreased to almost zero, thereby reducing the loss of innocent civilian life. For the article's authors to ascribe wholly different motives for this wall without providing an opportunity for another point of view is misleading. 

We are fully aware that in every conflict there is innocent suffering, and valid issues on both sides. We are certain that the majority of individuals on both sides yearn for a peaceful solution.  

As counsellors we should know well that in every relationship there is more than one point of view. It is regrettable that, before publishing a political article of this nature your editor did not also commission an article which would present the issues from an alternative angle.
