IN LAST WEEKS HAMODIA 16 JANUARY 2014.
I WAS NOT SURPRISED TO SEE MARTIN D. STERN'S  LETTER.
AS HIS LETTERS ARE NEARLY EVERY WEEK IN THE HAMODIA.
ALSO I WISH THE HAMODIA WOULD FOLLOW THE JEWISH TRIBUNE'S  WAY AND NOT PRINT LETTERS WITH NAME WITHHELD OR SINCERELY A.C. LONDON.
IF YOU ARE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR NAME, DO NOT WRITE LETTERS.
THAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT  TO MARTIN D. STERN
HE ALWAYS WRITES HIS NAME.
BUT LAST WEEK HE WROTE: 
I WAS HORRIFIED THAT THE COFFIN OF ARIEL SHARON " LAY IN STATE " OUTSIDE THE KNESSET.
HE WRITES:
LYING IN STATE IS A NON-JEWISH PRACTISE WHICH HAS NO PLACE IN A JEWISH STATE.
MR MARTIN D. STERN. ARE YOU MAD ? ? THE JEWISH STATE IS RUN BY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH JEWISH PRACTISE.
WAKE UP MR STERN THE JEWISH STATE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING A FRUM  ORTHODOX JEW.
YOU, THE HAMODIA AND FRUM PARTIES IN THE KNESSET HAVE TO WAKE UP AND REALISE THAT THE JEWISH STATE DOES NOT WISH TO PRACTISE BEING  A JEW.
