The letter discusses the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, emphasizing the historical roots and calling for action against Hamas to achieve peace.

Harvard Presidents' antisemitic legacy, from Conant to Gay, draws criticism. Gay's remarks lead to European school's severed ties.

Todd Greenberg’s poem ("surrender", BJN 11/2/23) is lovely and serves as an accurate depiction of the expectations that accompanied the signing of the Oslo Accords.

When I read Todd Greenberg’s “Surrender” (BJN, 11/6/23) I was temporarily transported back to 1967’s “Summer of Love” in Haight-Ashbury.

In light of recent events, I have been reading alot about what is going on in Israel. As a Jewish American with a teenage daughter, I am especially concerned.

If you listen or read the main stream media or listen to 99% of university administrators today, you would think that Hamas and the Auschwitz-like horrors that it inflicted on the Jewish people on October 7 is an aberration and that for entirety of the rest of recorded history Muslims have treated the Jewish people with respect and tolerance. Really?

We cannot accept refugees with a very high risk of terrorism, and whose fellow Arabs do not want them.

Like Rafael Medoff, I am dismayed that Pres. Biden felt it necessary to remind Israel to try to avoid civilian casualties. Biden should be well aware that Israel goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid injuring or killing civilians when Israel is forced to respond to attacks on her own civilians.
