MAY I make a comment on two recent letters from Steve Thompson on the Syrian refugees and Shahid Aziz’s letter honouring the Jewish people?

Firstly, Steve, I think you referred to the Syrian refugees in a letter in early September either as “part of your family” or your” brothers and sisters” – no problem with that, but can I ask you do you also regard the baby in the womb as “your brother and sister" also?

I welcome the letter from Shahid Aziz concerning the honouring of the Jewish people, and this being the case from reading his letter, would he, like myself, unequivocally condemn the quite deliberate misinformation and denigration of the rightful, ancient home of the Jewish people-Israel?
