Jerusalem Post Published my letter!

However they edited the original letter (at the beginning of this thread) and included only this:

Tolkien wouldn't have liked it
Sir, -
As someone who is very familiar with the Tolkien trilogy, I suggest that Lloyd Green go back and reread the books and view the motion picture a few more times. His analogies are false and distorted.

In "Let go of the "One Ring'" (October 26) he makes it clear that he considers the commandments of the Torah to be the equivalent of the "Ring of Power" and that Jews must throw away their religion and faith in the Messiah and give away their God-promised land to enemies who have sworn to destroy them utterly.

J.R.R. Tolkien, a devout Christian and admirer of the Jewish people, would not have been pleased with this twisted analogy to his work.

Someone else wrote:

Sir, -
After years of being depicted as racists and imperialists, it is a refreshing change to be described as hobbits.
