Another two pages from Jean Calder (The Argus, November 13) about Nada, "the plight of a victim of terror". But there are other victims.

I recently spoke with a friend who has just returned from a trip to Israel.

In one of the most savage terrorist attacks, a Palestinian suicide bomber walked into Natanya's Park Hotel on March 27, 2002.

He strode past the reception desk and calmly walked into the main dining hall.

As Jewish families with children were eating, on the night of the festival of Passover, the terrorist detonated a bomb, murdering 29 and wounding 140. The dead included babies, grandmothers and six married couples.

My friend met a woman whose husband had been murdered in that attack. She started to tell him about it - one moment her husband had been sitting next to her, the next, she said: "His head was on the ceiling, his body was on the wall, his arms and legs were..." - before she broke down completely.

My friend also met a beautiful young Israeli woman. Sadly, she was beautiful no more. She was hideously scarred. Her face had been shredded in a Palestinian attack. And there are thousands and thousands more like them.

Your readers will never hear about these victims in the unbalanced articles of Jean Calder. They are Israelis.

Israel, despite having suffered terrible crimes, is the subject of global demonisation. Her attempts to defend herself are denounced and vilified, her activities are misreported and distorted and she is judged by the most malign double standards.

Now the world has to wait for the Palestinians to find democratic leaders, who genuinely seek peace with Israel, instead of her destruction.
