Sir, – Martyn Turner’s cartoon (Opinion, October 25th) eloquently summed up the tragedy, savagery, suffering and pathetic pointlessness of war. It encapsulated the words of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish: “I don’t know who sold our homeland. But I saw who paid the price.” – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I found the Martyn Turner cartoon of a Hamas fighter surrounded by bodies but crowing, ‘On the other hand we seem to be winning the propaganda war’ (October 25th) deeply offensive, cruel and biased.
Shame on The Irish Times for printing it! – Yours, etc,
