The left is the problem

Editor: While I found the article on Mr. Gil Troy's presentation excellent ("Cause for deep concern: prof," Bulletin cover, Feb. 28), I find it disturbing and amazing that, according to the article, he failed to identify the left as a cause for concern. The left, with its virulent anti-Semitism and/or Zionophobia, is the source of the hatred and bias found in the media and our universities that have become a bastion for the liberal left. Only the degree of the infection will vary depending on how far to the left the person is, but it is still the same infection.

When I hear of "peace" movements and marches, I have to wonder why they can only identify with the aggressors and show no concern for innocent victims. It is interesting that we never see them marching in the Arab streets protesting the murder of Israeli mothers, children and other civilians, and I am still waiting to see the Muslim "peace" movement and marches.

The article identifies the violent anti-Semitism of right-wing racist gangs. While I have no doubt that they don't much like us, I haven't run into any lately, but I do encounter daily the anti-Semitism/Zionophobia of the liberal left.
I wonder what it will take to wake us up.
