I moved to Seattle from Portland a few years ago, but still keep in touch with Vancouver-Portland area publications and read Celia Hassan’s June 6 Young Voices opinion, “Detention offers student new outlook on Israel.”

Since I am a Jewish-American I am extremely frustrated and angry about the media distortion of Israel’s brutal treatment of Palestinians and the way it has ignored the U.S. role in funding and supporting these crimes. It undermines and negates everything that the U.S. and Israel claim to be about.

I am happy to see honest, educational reporting in a local paper. We must fight for Palestinian rights until they and the Jewish inhabitants can live together as equals in a single state.
