The following letter was submitted to the Washington Post in response to "Beware the data on American right-wing violence" (May 23) To the Editor: In “Beware the data on American right-wing violence,” Megan McArdle admits that far right violence is a problem, but insinuates it isn’t necessarily a bigger problem than other kinds of ideological violence. She offers no evidence but tries to make her case by second-guessing ADL’s annual reports on extremist-connected…

October 29, 2021 Lachlan Murdoch Executive Chairman and CEO Fox Corporation 1121 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10036 Dear Mr. Murdoch, I write once again to express deep alarm about the dangerous misinformation that FOX News continues to allow Tucker Carlson to express on your network and its platforms, this time in the form of a “documentary” about the insurrection on January 6. In a trailer for “Patriot Purge,” which apparently is…

April 9, 2021  Suzanne Scott  Chief Executive Officer  Fox News Channel  Dear Ms. Scott:  Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…

Note: This letter was published in The New York Times on July 10, 2020. July 9, 2020 Letters to the Editor The New York Times To the Editor: Re “I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State” (Op-Ed, July 9): With all his soothing words about equality and blissful coexistence, Peter Beinart is calling for the elimination of the Jewish state itself. His contortions to argue that Zionism does not require an independent Jewish state are transparently false and a tactic to…

Letters to the Editor Atlanta Journal-Constitution To the Editor: Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled conspiracy theories about the Anti-Defamation League are so divorced from reality that it’s hard to fathom how her most recent column found its way into The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“ADL, antifa and Koch equal a toxic anti-Trump league,” Oct. 3). In dismissing this storied, 106-year old civil rights organization — one with deep roots in Atlanta — as…

The follow letter was submitted to The Daily in response to "Netanyahu Won. The Two-State Solution Lost" (April 11) Lisa Tobin Executive Producer, The Daily Dear Ms. Tobin: The Daily Podcast of April 11 was riddled with inaccuracies, omissions and premature conclusions. Yes, for those of us who believe that Israel needs a two-state solution as much as the Palestinians, there are worrying trends, including the prime minister’s campaign statement about annexing…

The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "If We Silence Hate Speech, Will We Silence Resistance?" (Aug. 9) To the Editor: The first flaw in Erik Nielson’s argument is his failure to define hate speech, which clearly means different things to different people.   Speech that harasses, threatens or incites violence  - whether it emanates from the left or the right – contributes nothing to the marketplace of ideas, and…

The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "Free Speech Experts Argue Against Infowars Founder" (Aug. 8) To the Editor: The debate over whether Alex Jones should have been removed from Facebook, Apple and other platforms seems almost quaint and academic when one looks closely at his long history of spreading outright lies and appeals to bigotry. After the violent alt-right protest in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago, Mr. Jones announced that he…

ADL responded to an op-ed by a Jewish Voice for Peace staffer, who asserted that alt-right leader Richard Spencer was right in his remarks that Zionism is akin to white supremacy. Days after the horrific showcase of American far-right extremism in Charlottesville, America’s leading extremist, white supremacist leader Richard Spencer, appeared on an Israeli television newscast and compared his hate-filled ideology to Jewish nationalism, declaring it “white Zionism.” …

ADL reacted to an op-ed in The New York Times which "bears no resemblance to the complicated reality" between Israel and the Palestinians. Letters to the Editor The New York Times To the Editor: Re “Israel’s Everlasting Occupation” (Sunday Review, June 4): Nathan Thrall attributes to Israel an early determination to hold on to the territories. In fact, from the outset after the Six-Day War, Israel saw its winning territory as a perfect bargaining chip…

ADL responds to an article in The New York Times titled "Hamas Tempers Extreme Stances in Bid for Power” which appeared on May 2, 2017. Letters to the Editor The New York Times To the Editor: The story of a new Hamas statement of principles, with all the fuss and anticipation, is much ado about nothing. On the core of Hamas’s attitudes and policies toward Israel, nothing has changed. For Hamas, there is only one legitimate authority in the Holy Land. Israel,…

ADL letter to the public editor concerning convicted Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti. Letters to the Editor The New York Times To the Public Editor: We appreciate your comments about the Times failure with regard to the article by Marwan Barghouti. Unfortunately, it did not go far enough nor did the newspaper's clarification. Yes, Mr. Barghouti was not merely a Palestinian parliamentarian. He was convicted of murder by an Israeli court. Also important…

This letter was written in response to an article that appeared in The Nation regarding zionism and feminism. Letters to the Editor The Nation To the Editor: My parents came to Israel from Morocco, a country where Jews and Muslims lived together in harmony for centuries. They instilled in me and my siblings a loving humanism that demands we treat people of different race, gender, and religion with equal respect. As an Israeli woman, I inhabit multiple identities…
