Desmond Bellamy sent a lengthy letter to The Echo about the suffering of sheep and the live export trade, but he didn’t respond to my challenge to cite a single historical fact about Palestine from recent editions of The Echo, even though he labelled me a ‘keyboard warrior’ for criticizing Israel and decrying the apparent lack of concern for the plight of Palestinians under Zionist occupation.
I am now wondering whether Desmond has more sympathy for sheep than he has for Palestinians.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
