Zionists & Progressive
Dear Editor:
How has George Soros and his MoveOn.org movement, and the Muslim Brotherhood and its Nation of Islam, Black Lives Matter and Muslim Students’ Associations partners manage to drive a wedge between Israel and the Democratic party?
The US and Israel have been the closest of allies based on mutual interests and respect. Love and support for Israel has always been bipartisan. American Jews have overwhelmingly voted Democrat.
Radical leftists have intimidated political hopefuls for years. They are making Israel into a partisan issue with the Democrats adopting anti-Israel positions.
To quote Martin Luther King, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism.”
Our universities have been taken over by Jew-hating Islamists and their useful idiots who are ignorant of Middle East history. Their answer to the Hamas-Israel war is for Hamas to win. They support Hamas’ call to kill every Jew in the world. They support a Caliphate replacing our democracy.
The solution lies in the hands of President Biden. He must address the nation and condemn these anti-Semites with no reservations. He must defund any university who tolerates these demonstrations and fails to protect their Jewish students.
Students who have violated the law should face jail time. Fines paid by wealthy sponsors are not sufficient to curtail blatant racism. Foreign demonstrators must be immediately deported.
Jews have contributed too much to America to have to live in fear of radical Islamists. Muslims have earned 16 Nobel Prizes. Jews have won 965, 13 of them being Israelis.
America has to clean up its act.

The Far Left is a Clear & Present Danger
Dear Editor:
I think it’s very interesting that the “protesters” at Columbia declare themselves an “autonomous zone” where they enforce the rules, not the university or the police. The “Occupy Wall Street” protesters did the same thing. In Seattle and Portland and other places during the George Floyd riots, they also set up these tent encampments where the police were not supposed to go. These people are the real secessionists—not the tiny handful of far-right activists in Texas who say they want to secede, but are not really serious. It’s the far left, not the far right, who are the clear and present danger to our civil society. If history has taught us anything, it is that the far left is inherently evil and thoroughly corrupt, among other things. That is a fact that must be disseminated far and wide if we choose to even have a Western civilization for our future generations.

Parents Should Not Send Their Kids to Columbia U
Dear Editor:
My sincerest thanks go out to Fern Sidman and the entire writing team at The Jewish Voice for your superlative reportage on the horrible protests at Columbia University. I think the university administrators are a bunch of hypocrites. If anti-black racists were marching at Columbia, you can bet the university would crack down on them. But when anti-Jewish racists march, suddenly all we hear is a lot of blather about free speech. I don’t buy it. No Jewish parents should ever send their children to study at Columbia ever again.

Kudos to Speaker Mike Johnson
Dear Editor:
Kudos to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson for visiting Columbia University and speaking the truth about these vile Hamas supporting students. Notice that it’s only Republican leaders like Johnson who care enough to do that. I don’t see Senator Chuck Schumer or Rep. Nancy Pelosi coming to Columbia and challenging the extremists. No, they’re too busy denouncing the Israeli government. Political hacks such as these two, among others, should be voted out of office, forthwith. The voters will remember their silence in the face of visceral Jew hatred which is spreading like wildfire on our college campuse. Shame on them.

Jewish Leaders Have Let Us Down
Dear Editor:
There was a time when if anti-Jewish demonstrators showed up at some major college campus, Jewish demonstrators would respond—quickly and vigorously. All we hear today is about frightened Jewish students refusing to come to campus. I am old enough to remember the Jewish Defense League from the late 1960s and early 1970s and the incredible impact they had in thwarting anti-Semitism, be it on campus or in our street. We need serious Jewish leaders to organize real and meaningful protests that will reach the ears of our elected officials and university leadership. It seems like our Jewish leaders are getting fat on big salaries and sending out furious press releases but not actually doing what needs to be done. I’m not giving another penny to any of these so called Jewish or Zionist organizations. However tragic it may be, they have let us down once again.
Sincerely,

Biden Uses 4-Year Old Hostage as Prop
Dear Editor:
I was disappointed to read, in your April 25 issue, about the visit by 4 year-old Abigail Edan to the White House. She’s far too young to have a conversation with the president or understand the meaning of her visit—meaning that the president was basically using her as a campaign prop. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan called the visit “a moment of joy.” Is he kidding? Abigail’s parents were murdered on October 7. She is headed for a lifetime of trauma, while Biden and Sullivan are busy pressuring Israel to stop pursuing Hamas, the killers of her parents. Color me disgusted!
Sincerely,
