Alastair Campbell owes apologies to Joyce Safer of Glencoe and to the three Jewish Californians who moved to Israel, for his letter in the Sept. 18 Tribune.
How does a non-Jew who has never experienced religious prejudice or discrimination understand the current increase in anti-Semitism? My husband and I went on a futile mercy mission in July, 1938. My mother`s family had lived for 400 years in a small village 40 miles south of Stuttgart. One of her brothers had been awarded the iron cross in World War I. But in 1938 he was a weak old man. He and his older brother and ill sister were exterminated after Crystal Night the following November.
And how can Campbell defend Vanessa Redgrave`s pro-PLO views? Certainly she should have freedom of speech, but to use that freedom to defend antifreedom terrorists is beyond comprehension.
A native-born Arab-Israeli citizen who teaches chemistry at a Wisconsin prep school has told me that his family has never been as secure and well off as since the State of Israel was established.
