This is the response I sent to the Jerusalem Post regarding Amotz Asa-El article: Dear Sirs Amotz Asa-El's proven skills at character assassination were amply employed trashing both Ran Erez and the teachers he represents. This type of demagoguery specifically avoids the issues and reduces a major, national crisis to merely personal insult. Compelling arguments can doubtless be adduced for both sides of this dispute, but describing the teachers' position as mindless allegiance to a purported unsuitable union leader is a malicious and misleading caricature. Middle Israel deserves better than that. Yours sincerely Suzanne Clayman Have a good day Suzon Clayman <mailto:aclayman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> aclayman@xxxxxxxxxxxx
