Scholar pens poignant letter to Mitchell


Open Letter to Senator George Mitchell -Professor Elihu D Richter, MD, MPH

Dear Senator Mitchell:

Like many Israelis who supported the Oslo Accords, I have been mugged by reality. We have discovered that “land for peace” has morphed into “territory for terror”.

As much as I respect your commitment to mediating the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, I believe your model of “conflict resolution” is no longer relevant to the region. This conflict is now being driven and overshadowed by the asymmetrically existential threats to Israel posed by Iran’s race to nuclear capacity.
