Many thanks to News foreign affairs columnist Holger Jensen for being brave enough to write " 'When will the Israelis understand?,' " his article concerning the plight of the Palestinians. It is also good to realize that he is not one of these reporters who writes his or her columns sitting comfortably somewhere far away, being fed information via the phone. Jensen is getting his news firsthand. I applaud his ability to relate the reality of the situation.
Exposing the "truth" is essential to understanding what really is going on. I tire of armchair debaters who declare that Israel's position is the only legitimate one. When Jensen is there, he sees firsthand that is not true.
Jensen's positions might not end up being very popular, but I'll bet he can sleep at night with his conscience.
