REFERENCE Mr Keith Ratcliffe's letter (EA, Friday April 28).
I as a Palestine veteran would have liked to go to the London Troops Out of Iraq and Support Palestinian's event.
How does he know only a dozen attended?
For your information Keith, Palestine is one of the troubles that is tearing the Middle East apart. Sixty years back when we Palestine vets where being shot and bombed by the Jewish terrorists we lost, along with the Palestine police, 784 women (ATS) as well as men.
Our Government have steadfastly refused to admit this true number. Only Korea in the post war scraps had more killed in action, I think.
If you can tell us members of the Palestine veterans anything about the Middle East, Keith, do it, otherwise shut up.
We take the Government's 400 as an insult to 384 of our dead.
I am beginning to think in your desire to have a dig at Andy Newman or anyone with a socialist label, you are guilty of the same!
And now another five killed in action, one a woman. New Labour you're a disgrace.
