Sir, - Do Palestinians not realise that if they get their "state" as projected, it will in effect be a Bantustan? And do the Israelis not realise that they are building an apartheid system? Will no one stand up and call for a unified republic of Palestine-Israel, with Jerusalem as capital, and equal citizens' rights for Jews, Muslims, Christians or whatever, and respect for minorities? Also, with compensation for loss of property by Palestine refugee families, as Jewish survivors were compensated by Germany? - Yours, etc.,
Roy Johnston, Dublin 6.
