Sir, – So Iran and the Arab League are incensed because Israel tries to prevent the export to her sworn enemies of weapons by Syria, a nation engaged in internal death and destruction (World News, February 1st). Such weapons have a devastating effect.

Some critics of Israel often claim they are only opposed to its government’s policies, not to the country. Well now let us hope that there will be support for the action against such exports.

I look forward to approval rather than condemnation in your columns. – Yours, etc,
