To whom it may concern:
This is to explain my position
with regard to a recent ad-
vertisement dealing with the
assassination of a Palestinian
family.
The text in the ad was written
in anger, because a man, his
wife and their six-year-old
son had been brutally killed
in what amounted to a para-
military attack, in circum-
stances suggesting that the
strike force knew that the
mart, who was their target,
was accompanied by his fam-
ily. I considered the killings
to be wanton and without
justification, and thought 1
conveyed that emotion in the
copy. My remarks were not
intended to convey any sug-
-gestian -of t#t;tos<irrninatien,
and I was most certainly not
advocating the slaughter of
innocent children.
I am an incurable pacifist; I
have rained six children ,and
have sixteen grandchildren. i
am intensely fond of chil-
dren, and am not biased
against any racial or national
group. Because 1 was angry, I
chose inflammatory words to
express myself, apparently
creating misunderstanding
and discomfort for a number
of people. To anyone who
w,is adversely affected, I of-
fer my sincere apologies.
