Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Robert Fisk points out (report, 26 June) that the spiral of violence in Lebanon was initiated by the Israeli-controlled mortar attack on Qabriqa. The situation is reminiscent of 1982. Then, according to Mrs Thatcher, the frontier had been quiet for over a year. The Israelis made a minor attack which was played down. The Lebanese response was then made the excuse for the massive invasion of Lebanon.
It is hoped that Mr Barak will have learned from history although apparently Mr Netanyahu has not.
