I am interested why Jewish librarians feel it so important to present the Palestinian point of view? Maybe a Hamas video explaining why suicide bombers are legitimate is also a good idea? Why is would be so bad to stand up for Israel clearly proudly without presenting propaganda from the

What about the massacre in Jenin? even though the UN has said this never even happened, all Palestinian official information still claims Israeli soldiers killed hundreds of innocent civilians? As Ehud Barak learned the hard way: (from an interview he gave after the Camp David

Friends, Hasafran is not an appropriate forum for political discussions. Even though, I maintain the view that Jews should first of all protect their brother Jews, and I believe that the defenders of the Palestinians in our midst do us a disservice, nevertheless, I think that both sides should

While I appreciate Mr. Sheynin's perspective, I must disagree with him that HaSafran is not an appropriate forum for political discussion. Librarianship is inherently a political profession, and it seems to me that we must engage in these difficult questions even though we will often disagree

Stuart Schnee and Andrea Rapp have raised concerns and points of view that deserve a response. Without going into any rhetoric about the actual issues involved, I would like to say that there is more than one point of view about was has been taking place within Israel both before and after 1948.

I am not a librarian and thus I can't claim to know the professional standards by which you are called to follow. As a Jew, who lives in Israel, I simply would hope that you wouldn't see the Jewish claim to the land of Israel or the Palestinian war against us as alternative views.

The problem with your statement, Cherille, is that you have set up a 'straw man' by focusing on books being commisioned/promoted/funded by anti-Israel elements or as part of a public relations campaign by pro- Palestinian groups. People such as Segev, Benvenisti and Oz are not at all anti-Israel -
