Thanks for your comment, Gordon.

No, I don't condemn Israel, Jews, or Christians in this letter. I don't condemn Palestinians, Hamas, the PA, or Muslims either. That's because that's not what the letter is about. The letter is about the failure of progressives to condemn openly racist attacks on Jews.

If you and I both condemn openly racist attacks and are willing to stand against them, then we're all set, and we can go on to have all the debates you want in a context of mutual respect and a shared civic space :)
