Letter: Political errors that led to Nachshon Waxman's death
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: In addition to the changes you suggest in Israel's approach to the negotiations with the PLO (leading article, 17 October), it would be to everyone's advantage if Yitzhak Rabin were to release the Palestinian prisoners who are still held in Israeli jails.
There may be some genuine criminals among them, but the great majority are in effect political hostages, detained not for anything they have done but because of their views. This violates the spirit of the agreement reached in Oslo and confirmed in Washington by Mr Rabin and Yasser Arafat more than a year ago.
Yours faithfully, MICHAEL ADAMS Budleigh Salterton, Devon
