This is a revision of a letter written in 1969--nothing has changed, except perhaps to get worse! But first a bit about the man who penned it:
Stanley Goldfoot is remembered by family and friends for his love for and devotion to Israel and the Jewish people. He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After hearing a speech about the Zionist vision by Ze'ev Jabotinsky, he headed for Palestine where, at the age of 18, he joined a HaShomer HaTzair kibbutz.
After the rebirth of the Jewish State of Israel his main goal was to establish a Zionist English newspaper. In the first issue of "The Times of Israel", Stanley Goldfoot wrote his famous controversial "Letter to the World from Jerusalem", which caused quite a stir. On 24 November, 2006, at the age of 92, Stanley Goldfoot passed away. His famous article is still relevant...
