Illegal settlers
Re “A first step in Hebron,” editorial, Jan. 20
The Jewish settlers being removed from Hebron are illegally living in Palestinian-owned buildings and shops; they’re no better than common thieves. As a Jewish American, I am revolted by the arrogance of those settlers who think that they can steal a person’s property simply because that person is Palestinian. That is not the lesson taught us by the prophet Isaiah, who preached universal justice.
The Israeli government is correct in removing the settlers and restoring the property to its rightful and legal owners.
