Jeremy Hardy is on the record as supporting the end of Israel. It therefore came as no surprise that he would eventually use his platform in Housing Today to peddle his distorted slur on the Jewish state (HT, 7 May, page 20). Knowing of his ridiculous traducement of this tragic conflict, which he gobs up at every opportunity, I was surprised that he was given a space in a housing journal to promote his extreme views.

Housing Today is not the place to dissect his outrageous slur on the Jewish people but as a Jewish person can I plead with the magazine to show more sensitivity to the feelings of the Jewish community?
