| Karma Nabulsi (In Jerusalem we have the latest chapter in a century of colonialism, 13 December) promotes a narrative that denies the very right of my country to exist within any borders. She endorses violent Arab rejectionism and even considers a Jewish state inside the 1967 lines to be a colonialist implant. These are the very lines often referred to by the Arab League and the Palestinian Authority as a starting point for direct negotiations, which Israel hopes can be resumed. | Karma Nabulsi (In Jerusalem we have the latest chapter in a century of colonialism, 13 December) promotes a narrative that denies the very right of my country to exist within any borders.
