Re: “If Israel-Hezbollah war escalates, I fear antisemitism will, too” [July 13, Opinion]:
Paul Burstein wrote an extended, impassioned essay on his fears of antisemitism if Israel’s warfare with Hezbollah expands. Antisemitism is incorrect and will certainly be condemned.
However it might have been good if he had talked about only one single empathetic phrase for the almost 40,000 Palestinians, largely ladies and youngsters, who’ve been killed since Oct. 7. Some protesters hurled antisemitic tropes however the many who didn’t had been joined by Jews sympathetic to the plight of harmless ladies and youngsters dying.
As a professor and function mannequin, it might be good if Burstein was like a number of the Jewish college students who need the killing to cease.
