Recently two articles appeared on The Crimson mail page criticizing an earlier letter (George Bisharat "Questioning Israel's Morality," March 5th). In these responses Israel is portrayed as a nation morally aware of its responsibility in Lebanon, and as a nation which has completely atoned for the events which took place there this summer...
Moved by my pointed refutation (March 8) of his article ("Questioning Israel's Morality," March 5), George Bisharat (letter, March 17) feels he must refer to me as a "Zionist propagandist," a "fool," and one who "insults common sense." Like a child boxed into a corner, arms tied behind his back, his only response is to swing.

...guilt, a courageous and unique historical event. Despite the lengthy list of Arab violations of human rights, of massacres against their own people, of the uprooting of their own citizens as well as Israelis, we have yet to hear one word of self-reproach. Is this how Mr. Bisharat understands justice? Rona G. Shapiro '83-3 Chair, H-R Zionist Alliance
