Dear Ms. Jansson,

Thank you for CCing me on your response to Mr. Frankenthal.

When we publish his letter and yours, I can assure you that, like me, 99 percent of our readers will join him in deciding that their beauty-aid and cosmetic dollars will best be spent with firms that do not believe �the onus must be on the dominating force, Israel.�

Israel, whose blockade on Hamas-ruled Gaza has been declared legal according to international law, has the obligation, first and foremost, to defend its civilian population against terrorist-originating bombs, missiles, and other attacks.

Gaza is not cut off from the world. Israel allows true humanitarian aid to enter the strip and permits Palestinian patients to receive medical care in the Jewish state. Egypt recently announced it would open its border with Gaza. But, because of terrorist activities emanating from the Palestinian areas, Israel maintains that all supplies entering and personnel leaving Gaza (where studies have shown there is no mass starvation or desperate privation) must be checked. The security fence between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria (the �West Bank�) operates for the same reason. If there were no terrorist threat to the Jewish state, there would be neither a blockade of Gaza nor a security fence between Israel and the PA.

When Lush Cosmetics decides to withdraw from its patently unfair partisan position in the Arab-Israeli conflict, please let us know so we can inform our readers.

Thank you
