(re: “Would you call me antisemitic?” Feb. 9)
After spending a fair amount of effort over many years trying to change the rhetoric about fulminating anti-Zionism, I have come to the sad conclusion that being anti-Zionist or even antisemitic fulfills other psychological needs and does not depend on facts.

(re: “ADL: Antisemitism reaches an overall high,” Feb. 2)
Your recent story repeats the claim of the Anti-Defamation League that anti-Jewish racism is the same as criticism of Israel. You quote a leader of ADL — supposedly “the leading anti-hate organization in the world” — equating “anti-Jewish conspiracy theory of belief and negative sentiments toward Israel.”

Revealingly ignoring undeniable Russian butchery of Ukrainian civilians, China’s oppression of Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, and Iranian and Syrian ethnic cleansing, Peter Wolf again directs his ire at Jews.

(re: “It’s North Bronx groups vs. Dinowitz on BDS,” June 2)
Something is wrong at The Riverdale Press. The front-page, above-the-fold story June 2 is begun by Stacy Driks describing the support of some CUNY students and faculty for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.
