As a response to the surprised letter written by Mr James V. Caldarola, last wednesday 8th December: why should we talk about a Jewish theft of the land, if this was promised by God Himself?
To steal a vital space from who has the same need is not an act of infamy, but a detestable right. This is the same also for those biblical Jewish to whom God promised the land: some thousands of former slaves escaping from Egyptian empire.
Dear Mr Caldarola, the Holy Bible is the Word of God because it is the word of the poor, the cry of God because it is the cry of the poor, of them all, included Palestinians. God promised the land to them as well.
My 50% is Jewish, and I do believe in it.
