A moonbat representative from the Red Cross and regular letter writer to South African newspapers, Gunvant Govindjee has created a masterpiece of mendacity in his latest letter to the Business Day (15/03/2005).
Govindjee claims that Israel is guilty of hypocrisy in calling for Syria to withdraw from Lebanon, since Israel, in Govindjee's lunatic mind, still occupies part of Lebanon.
The part referred to is the small enclave known as the Sheba farms. Today a letter writer counters the mendacity by correctly stating that the UN has officially declared that Israel has fully withdrawn from Lebanon - the Sheba farms are not part of Lebanon.
Walid Jumblatt, an opposition leader in Lebanon recently declared that the Sheba farms are not part of Lebanon, and that the dispute is only perpetuated by Hizbullah for its use as a reason to continue the armed struggle against Israel.
I am sure I read a letter from the red cross in norway in our mail and guardian that wanted sharon arrsted...no?

I see that you comment on Mr. Govindjee's mind as beeing lunatic. Well, I can tell you one thing: Gunvant is the smartest man I have ever met, and I doubt that you can ever come up to his level (and that is with out saying that you are not smart-because I believe you are). I frequently doubtet what he said, and discussed a lot with him, but he always had evidence and arguments to back up what he said. Sure, sometimes he said things a bit too harshly, but that was to awaken us students and make us really think, and I believe that this is what he has done here (though I haven't read what you are reffering to). Please have respect for him, because he is most probably way above all of us when it comes to knowledge of international affairs, international law, human rights and so on!

I shouldnt have called him a lunatic, you are right. He may be very clever but he wrote two openly hostile letters about Israel where he didnt portray any level of balance and honesty.
Being clever doesnt not mean you are fair and balanced.

Lebanon is 10452 km squared. This surely includes Sheba Farms and 'Kora Sabea' in North israel.

Kora Sabea are NOT in "north israel". they are still in the occupied territories!

Well, whether Sheba farms is Lebanese or Syrian what the hell is Israel doing there anyway. It is a colonialist state that will not last very long.
