Sir, - It was with great pleasure that I read Yocheved Miriam Russo's article, \"Letting Kids Be Kids\" (Metro, October 30). I felt as if I wanted to get on the bus immediately and go to Sderot! It was an article full of hope, promise and optimism. Sir, - I am sure all the residents of Netanya are thrilled to have read that the prestigious \"Decade of Excellence\" award for 2009 was awarded to the city, and to Mayor Miriam Fierberg-Ikar. I really have to congratulate our mayor for the time and energy she devotes to beautifying our delightful city.

Sir, - In \"A fading peace\" (March 13) Brian Freedman abuses his stint as a Jewish Agency volunteer in the south. Only by sleight of hand, and with the deliberate aim of misleading the reader, could one equate the \"hatred\" voiced by young Israeli children in the south, who have lived almost their entire lives under missile threat from the Gaza Strip, with the hatred inculcated in Palestinian children by their religious leaders, their schoolteachers, their TV programs and - last but not least - their parents' glorification of suicide bombers. Nor is this just a \"technicality.\" This fact has great potential political importance in that it points up Jordan's current nature as a Palestinian country and society, clearly raising the question: Could not the present line-up of Israel and Jordan, in what was formerly Palestine, some day turn into a political partnership, creating the foundation for a \"two-state solution\" of a more promising kind than the one being bandied about these days? Sir, - I really enjoyed Marilyn Henry's tribute to the Morgenthau family (\"The Morgenthau century,\" March 15). Not being a New Yorker, I wasn't aware of the actual century of service they performed.

Sir, - In \"'Great' Britain\" (Letters, September 16) Jack Barreti omitted a crucial fact re the UK's attempted arrest of Maj-Gen. Doron Almog. Apparently, the arrest warrant was issued under a 1957 Act that enshrined the Fourth Geneva Convention in English law. Article 146 obliges the UK to bring persons alleged to have committed war crimes before the courts. Sir, - I'm afraid Jack Barreti's recollection of a tolerant \"British Lion\" was an illusion of selective memory. The Britain I was born into had men's clubs into which women, dogs and Jews were not admitted. It was hard to get a job if you had a Jewish name even if, and sometimes because, the owner of the factory was a Jew. The Scout movement was based on Christianity. An unfair act or statement was termed \"unchristian.\" The cathedral town of York's decree from the Middle Ages that no Jew could live there was officially lifted only a few years ago. All schools had a Christian service every morning before school. There were no Jews in private schools. Sir, - I am not sure whose funeral your reporters attended as, from my own observation, their account was glaringly inaccurate in one significant respect (\"Hundreds attend funeral of 'Mandela's rabbi,'\" September 16). A large segment - possibly even the majority - of those at the funeral of Rabbi Cyril Harris, former chief rabbi of South Africa, included his erstwhile UK rabbinical colleagues, congregants and personal friends from the London communities of Kenton, for whom there was a special bus from [Netanya], as well as from Edgware and St. John's Wood synagogues. This was apart from the many British and Israeli friends of Rabbi Harris's sons.
