Middle East ‘right to return’

Sir, – Perhaps Tom Fuller (May 3rd), who, like many Irish people these days, seems to take umbrage at Jews claiming an attachment to Israel on the basis of Bible stories, should remember that they have been the victims of a 2,000- year-old persecution, also based on Bible stories. – Yours, etc,
