Nasty

By the time the legal battles and appeals had all gone through, Porter was ordered to pay £43,321,644. By then, Shirley and an Alzheimered Sir Leslie were resident in Tel Aviv. As she wrote on a postcard to her son, “love from sunny Israel”, a land which has institutionalized Porter’s belief that the solution to political problems is a brutally creative approach to housing and rehousing.


The above quotation can be found here in a TLS book review.

The reviewer, A.N. Wilson *, I fear, either doesn't like Israel or doesn't like Jews or both.

I've written a letter and I'll post that up a bit later.

But is you want to write, too, here's the address:

letters@the-tls.co.uk

Remember, if anyone, it was the Arabs who were involved in unhousing the Jews. They were the ones to initiate an ethnic cleansing policy in Hebron, Safed, Gush Etzion, etc. beginning at the start of the Mandate.

Seems that someone else doesn't like Wilson:

A.N.Wilson is fond of name-calling
