  • Your magazine is packed with excellent relevant articles – so why the totally biased and political one on the Palestinians?

    Suffering, fear and the therapy needs of those living in the many world conflict zones is highly topical. However, if you choose to concentrate on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict then at least mention those living in Sderot and other southern towns in Israel who have had their properties destroyed, members of their community injured and killed and who live in constant fear of another indiscriminate missile – even during this so-called cease fire. If you were a political magazine, I might take time to argue many of the points you made after speaking to non-independent sources; but yours is Therapy Today magazine and I would have thought, therefore, it would be above reporting political propaganda.
