Why did neighbors kill Jews in Jedwabne, Poland?
Editor:
Several atrocities occurred during WWII, but one of them was so barbaric that it stands out among the many.
Sixty-nine years ago in Jedwabne, Poland, on July 10, 1941, half of its inhabitants murdered the other half—some 1600 Jews—with knives, clubs, pitchforks, stones and fire while a German army detachment stood by offering “professional” advice. Heads [...]

Land for peace is a fallacy
Editor:
I wholeheartedly support Ezra Waldman’s June 24 arguments for Israel’s survival, against its Islamic foes, the Obamanation, and the Jewish liberal left, exemplified by J Street.
Jack Alexander and Gerry Magnes attack Ms. Roth’s valid criticism of Yossi Sarid, for arguing for a secular Jerusalem, negotiated with the Palestinians. J Street says that the Bible doesn’t [...]

Support for Israel paramount after flotilla incident
Editor:
It has been several weeks since the Israeli attack on the so-called Turkish freedom flotilla in the sea off the Gaza coastline. I have read at least 20 articles on the subject, seen it portrayed and examined countless times on T.V. and heard it discussed by several talk show loudmouths on the radio. Those who [...]

Context for Sarid response to Wiesel
Editor:
In a letter to The Jewish World, Rose Ann Roth criticizes a piece in Haaretz written by Yossi Sarid, MK and former Israeli minister for the environment. Sarid took issue with an open letter from Elie Wiesel to President Obama about Jerusalem. Roth also criticizes J Street for placing Sarid’s piece in seven Jewish newspapers.
Sarid [...]
Jewish Disunity, Wiesel’s Ad
Editor:
Again, we see Jews degrading themselves by their public display of self-flagellation with their passion for disunity—particularly on the part of J Street and former Israeli Cabinet minister Yossi Sarid. They wasted no time in responding, with opposing opinions, to Elie Wiesel’s ad that recently appeared in several newspapers (The Jewish World, May 13, 2010).
Wiesel’s [...]

Poor choice of words
Editor:
I would like to apologize to Ms. Kathlean K. Duff. (JW letters, 3/25, 4/8)
My choice of words regarding Catholics priests was inappropriate.

A few answers, and a question or two
Editor:
In his recent D.C. Report (The Jewish World 4/1), Douglas M. Bloomfield raises four questions laying the foundation for a new J Street Haggadah. In reality, he poses only three questions, as the first and third are a mirror image of one another. So let me answer his questions and add a few of my [...]

Denial, rationalization seen in previous letter to editor
Editor:
Hiram Cohen’s letter in defense of Rabbi Weiss was a dazzling display of denial and rationalization. Mr. Cohen bemoans the fact that Rabbi Weiss is serving a 60-day sentence, and the fact that it is doubtful that the rabbi will be able to “resurrect his activities.” Given the nature of the activities that occasioned said [...]

Few priests are sexual abusers
Editor:
I write to you during Pesach as a Roman Catholic mother of three, grandmother of one and a faithful reader of The Jewish World. As a woman who wears many hats, I think Hiram Cohen’s recent letter, “Sad times for the Jewish community of the Capital Region,” calls for a response.
My angry reaction to Hiram [...]

Is Bloomfield anti-Zionist?
Editor:
Douglas Bloomfield’s April 1 article “Four Questions for Prime Minister Netanyahu” seems as if it was written by Obama’s aides, or by a member of J Street, who are all anti-Zionist. He covertly attacks Zionism and the right of all Jews to live in the lands of Israel, and in all of Jerusalem, Israel’s eternal [...]
