Friedman Aaaarggggg last

To the Editor:

Re "Awaking to a Dream" (Op-Ed. March 28)

I want to wake up and read that Thomas Friedman realizes that freezing settlements will not solve the Israel/Palestine issue. That these settlements are illegal and must be dismantled. That 37 years of occupation may be part of the problem. That the killing of unarmed Palestinians, including more than 500 children, by the IDF is every bit as terrible as the suicide bombing.

I want to wake up and read that Thomas Friedman gets his information somewhere other than from the AOL news page. That he has read the excellent piece by Gideon Levy in today's Haaretz, "A sudden concern for the Palestinian child", who reminds us: "But Israelis have no moral right to criticize the Palestinians for their cruelty toward children; we are no less cruel."
