Re: William Sherman’s May 29 letter, “Full history”:

It appears the truth is, most of the time, not politically correct and not what the media want us to hear.

Mr. Sherman’s information is truthful. The spin doctors would like us all to all believe the Israelis are responsible for the Palestinians’ lot in life. With very few recent exceptions, their lot in life has been brought on by the actions of their fellow Arab countrymen and themselves, not the Israelis.

Mr. Sherman gets an “A” in history.
