AN OPEN LETTER TO to S.A. HALEVY Re: "Leaving Israel Because I'm Disengaged"
by Yedidya AtlasIsraelNationalNews.com - October 16, 2005

Dear S.A. Halevy,

Shalom. I don't know who you are, but your identity is not important. The issue is your article entitled "Leaving Israel Because I'm Disengaged".

Reading your article, I felt your deep anguish, your almost physical pain as you tried to express in mere words your disillusionment, frustration, and helpless anger after the events of the past month in Israel. As a journalist with nearly three decades of professional experience, I have to ! say that your article, while well-written, was the type of piece that one writes and puts in a drawer for a few days. Then, after calming down, one looks at it again and rewrites it without the anger, or simply leaves it in the drawer.
