[Peace] Fwd: Zionist propaganda in the DI!

[C. G. Estabrook]

I think Karen's quite right.  And I'd add that we should demand the DI
publish material -- columns -- from us and others in refutation of these
ads.  The cure for bad speech is not suppression -- not even demanding
that the DI not sell ads -- but more speech, right speech -- in short, the
truth.

We don't want to be in the position of backing any paper's asserting that
"There are some views we won't publish' -- if only because we don't want
them to reject our ads as, say, "treasonous" (or "anti-Semitic").  If we
don't believe in free speech for views we despise, we don't believe in it
at all.

Regards, Carl
