"Thinking Jews, in Montreal as elsewhere, join in seeing what you have written as a shanda, an unjustifiable shame. That you should be ashamed of yourselves is the politest thing one can say."

Your article on this subject is classically racist, and it explains the increasing contempt in which media organizations such as yours are held by much of the public. You just cannot be trusted. You display such impressive calm when Palestinians are killed; only the loss of lives on the side of the more powerful party moves you to feign human concern. An Israeli Defense Minister kills Palestinians daily in the hundreds while speaking of them as “human animals,” and you dare presume that those who rally behind the oppressed should justify themselves to you? Hubris on hyperdrive. Thinking Jews, in Montreal as elsewhere, join in seeing what you have written as a shanda, an unjustifiable shame. That you should be ashamed of yourselves is the politest thing one can say.
