August 11, 2014 Dear Editor, Following your decision to publish in the Guardian the inflammatory, Islamophobic and deceiving ad written by Elie Wiesel, I decided neither to buy nor to subscribe to the paper from tomorrow (I have been a regular reader until today). Your coverage of the barbaric and cruel Israeli onslaught on Gaza has been actively pro-Israeli with the exception of the excellent (but rare) articles by Seumas Milne. Yet, by agreeing to publish this provocative and defamatory ad you have sunken even further transgressing the boundaries not only of ethical journalism but also of humanity itself. I strongly believe that your decision will lead to a large number of people cancelling their subscription to the paper. As a concluding remark I would like to mention that, as a newly born baby, I was also sacrificed to the Moloch and used as a human shield by my Holocaust survivors, Jewish parents. After all I was born in the HaKirya hospital, at the centre of Tel-Aviv’s most densely populated neighbourhood, a few yards from the headquarters of the Israeli army and from the Hamal (war cabinet, known in Israel as “the bunker”) where, currently, attacks on Gaza are planned and monitored. Until 1998 the large birthing center where I was born, HaKirya Maternity Hospital, was still operating. It was closed when the newer Lis Maternity Hospital was opened in the adjacent Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, commonly referred to as Ichilov Hospital. Yours sincerely, Professor Yosefa Loshitzky
