YES, Mrs Crowther (LT, July 12), we know and deplore what the situation is now in Palestine.

What I asked was, what turned a Palestinian grant of land to the Jews to found Israel into a terrorist state?

Mr Wilkinson failed to answer that question.

Perhaps you will enlighten us. Is it not a case of Israel reaping what they sowed?

If not, then what, Mrs Crowther? Tell us.
