Everyone should have homeland
Dear editor: The millions of Palestinians living in exile seriously wishing to return to Palestine could follow the examples of the North American homeless, the European refugee phenomenon and the ancient Jewish exodus from Egypt to resolve their deplorable dilemma.
All exile Palestinians could use their mind and feet with no violence and together proceed to Israel from all directions and squat in Israel. The sheer Palestinian numbers would precipitate a rapid Israeli-Palestinian resolution. Very simple if the Palestinians themselves are serious.
No one else has helped them. They are just being used and abused by other powers. Surely everyone deserves the right of a home in their own land, especially at Christmas. Joe Schwarz
Penticton There he could get a good, hot meal (better than in a lot of restaurants) every day, and sometimes extras to take out. Also, there are shelves full of bread, buns, bagels, etc, as well as apples and other fruit in season. Joy Lang Penticton The Good Samaritan. As you know, }normally Jews and Samaritans didn’t get along with each other.
That lesson of caring for and about our fellow human, regardless of race or religion, seems to me to be the essential message of Christmas.
A sign regarding this now could read: improvement needed. Marilyn Hansen Summerland
