Hamjatta, is this not a contradiction your'e cocconed in, on one hand, "DISSING" Halifa for his letter's, on the other, congratulating G-L members for such a gallant pettition draft. You fall for the same trap with such propagandistic labelling[s]: left-right, east-west, first/second/third world....inventing or myth-making realities into scary and unreal situations, by the commissary few for the grandeur masses. You have to respect his,Halifa's pacifistic position compared to others, calling for confrontational tactics. Let's start respecting each others viewpoints, as long as it's in our collective interest.
