Hollywood’s Neo-Nazis
Dear Editor:
Hollywood’s neo-Nazis applauded “No Other Land”, an antisemitic documentary based on a false history, not that I would expect the self-absorbed glitterati to ever look beyond their make-up mirrors.
There is no Palestine. There never was a Palestine, except for the British Mandate for Palestine, which was one of the mandates established after World War One and was recognized under international law to be the reconstituted Jewish homeland. It was ratified by the League of Nations and the United Nation. Article 80 of the UN charter stipulates that what was promised the Jews, cannot be over-ridden. Israel’s sovereign territory includes Gaza, Judea and Samaria.
Were there Arabs living in the mandate? Yes. Did they have specific ethnicity or affiliation? No.
By 1948, when the mandate ended, the Arab population had doubled by immigration seeking employment in the growing Jewish state. Most immigrants were from Egypt and Syria. Like all Arabs, they identified with their clans, not with any nationality.
Jews moving into the mandate were called Palestinians, as their documents attest to.
During WWII, the Arabs were Nazis. Haj Amin al-Husseini, their leader, created Muslim Bosnian SS units and personally intervened to send 4,000 Hungarian Jewish children to Auschwitz.
In 1948, the mandate ended. Israel was declared. Husseini’s militias and 5 Arab armies attacked the new state. They call their failure to ‘drive the Jews into the sea’, the Nakba. 700,000 Arabs fled. 1,000,000 Jewish refugees from Arab lands were forced out of their homes.
Palestinianism was created by the Soviet KGB in 1964 to reduce American influence by destroying Israel. The Palestine Liberation Organization recruited Arab terrorists from MENA (the Middle East and North Africa), calling them ‘Palestinians’. They hijacked aircraft, bombed Israeli and American civilian, military and diplomatic sites and murdered Israeli Olympic athletes. They began calling mandate Arabs, ‘Palestinians’.
The 1993-95 Oslo accords let Yasser Arafat and 100,000 followers into Israel. That attempt to placate the Arabs is directly linked to the Oct. 7, 2023 barbaric massacre and kidnappings.
Palestinianism is a hoax. Hollywood’s useful idiots need to check their moral compasses.

The Meaning of ‘Taqiyya’
Dear Editor:
Taqiyya means lying to the enemy to gain an advantage.
On Oct. 7, 2023 Palestinian terrorists from Gaza attacked Israel.
On Oct. 8, 2023, Hezbollah attacked Israel from Lebanon.
On Oct. 1, 2024 Iran launched 200 ballistic missiles at Israel.
Since Oct., 2023, Houthi rebels in Yemen have been attacking Israel and international shipping.
Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and Yemen coordinated violence against Israel. Israel did not initiate any of these actions. Israel defended itself.
Israel has stopped sending aid into Gaza, where its citizens are still being held hostage by the savages who kidnapped them on Oct. 7, 2023.
The media is condemning Israel, not the Palestinians, Hezbollah, Iran or the Houthis for the deaths and destruction.
Israel owes Gaza nothing. Israel owes Israelis, including Israeli Arabs, peace and security.
Should Israel send supplies to Lebanon and Iran too? Does Ukraine owe aid to Russia? Did we send food to Germany before firebombing Dresden. Did we warn Japan before nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki? War creates casualties. 12,200 innocent French civilians were killed on D-Day.
Radical Islam’s war against the Infidels is persistent. There is a straight line from 9-11 to Oct. 7.

The Normalization of Jew Hatred
Dear Editor:
The alarming escalation of virulent anti-Semitism on U.S. college campuses—most notably at Columbia University and Barnard College in Manhattan—should be a clarion call for all who value decency, historical memory, and the integrity of academic institutions. What we are witnessing is not merely a surge of controversial political expression — it is the resurgent face of an age-old hatred, repackaged under the guise of social justice and anti-colonial rhetoric, but no less poisonous and dangerous than in the darkest chapters of history.
The recent hostile takeover of buildings on the Barnard campus, conducted with brazen defiance, is not a student protest in any traditional or principled sense—it is a menacing act of ideological aggression. These radicalized encampments and occupations, often glorified in sanitized media coverage, have become breeding grounds for pro-Hamas propaganda, overt expressions of Jew-hatred, and calls for the eradication of Israel, cloaked in academic language but echoing the same genocidal intent heard in far more sinister times. The banners waving from these buildings do not speak for peace or justice; they advocate for terror and the delegitimization of Jewish identity and safety.
What is perhaps most chilling is not merely the content of this hate, but its normalization. The normalization of antisemitism—the integration of virulent anti-Jewish sentiment into the mainstream fabric of university life—represents a societal sickness more dangerous than isolated acts of violence. When professors turn a blind eye or offer tacit support, when administrators equivocate in the face of open incitement, and when peers remain silent rather than denounce the desecration of Jewish students’ dignity and security, we are watching history repeat itself—not as a lesson, but as a warning unheeded.
This institutional indifference mirrors the very climate that allowed 20th-century European Jew-hatred to metastasize into genocide. Today, American campuses—once bastions of liberal education—are becoming hotbeds of ideologically driven intolerance, in which Jewish students are harassed, isolated, and demonized. And while the slogans may have changed, the essence remains tragically familiar: the dehumanization of the Jew, the justification of violence against them, and the indifference of the majority.
In this context, I strongly support President Trump’s directive to revoke the visas of foreign students who come to this country not to learn, but to sow hatred, radicalism, and division. No country is obliged to serve as a platform for imported ideological extremism masquerading as activism. Equally, American students who engage in incitement and violate the civil rights of their peers should be held to account—not coddled, but expelled. No university should be a sanctuary for hate.

Misplaced Priorities on Trade Tariffs
Dear Editor:
President Trump’s renewed push for trade tariffs on countries like Canada, Mexico, and China is a misguided move at a time when Americans are struggling with the everyday cost of living. While tariffs may sound tough on paper, they often backfire—raising prices for consumers and straining relationships with key trading partners. Instead of playing economic hardball abroad, the administration should be laser-focused on stabilizing the domestic economy and addressing inflation. Families don’t care about geopolitical posturing—they care about why a dozen eggs costs nearly double what it did a few years ago. If the goal is to protect American households, then let’s start at the grocery store, not the customs office.
Sincerely,
