Kudos for Kemp

As expected, British Col. Richard Kemp has written a masterful summary (“Britain should support Trump’s plan,” January 27) of the horrific consequences of his government’s Mandate policy, including the infamous White Paper, which prevented European Jewry from entering Palestine before, during and after World War II.

Since 2009 and the terrible period of the Goldstone report, Kemp has repeatedly spoken out on the world stage about the unique morality of our IDF and of the justice of our battle against terrorism. He is one of our greatest friends, and deserves to be properly acknowledged and appreciated, yet in the bio at the end of his article, you write only, “The author is a former British army commander.”

On the same page as Kemp’s article was a piece written by a 10th grader; you devote seven lines to his achievements. On Sunday, January 26, you printed four op- eds; the authors were described in three lines, seven lines, four lines, and three lines respectively, the last being a third- year law student.

How does this minimization of a worthy hero like Col. Kemp occur?

In “Britain should support Trump’s plan,” the redoubtable Col. Richard Kemp OBE sets forth in his inimitable way the unforgivable actions of invidious Albion toward Europe’s Jews and in the Land of Israel before, during and after the Holocaust. His detailed recording of the huge numbers of Jews who were prevented from escape by the policies of the British government contrasts starkly with the mealymouthed remarks by Prince Charles at the 75th commemoration of the Holocaust last Thursday.
