CLAREMONT, N.H.-Some of us disagree with Dan DeWalt's Viewpoint.
Some of us are not anti-Israel.
I know that I cannot change Mr. DeWalt's opinion, which he is entitled to, nor his ability to put his skillful rhetoric into the newspaper. (Hey, he's one of the newspaper's founders.)
If allowed, I could write a short history of the Israel-Palestinian issue, devoid of rhetoric, focused on facts. That might change the opinions of some of the readers.
But again, there's no way I can hope to budge Mr. DeWalt's hard-set views.
