Other People's Writings
- On the Revival of German Anti-Semitism

- New Zealander David White tells Palestinians to "get real", and "Accept that Jews are human beings. Accept the verdict of 1948 and learn to live with it... Teach science and mathematics, not hate. Look to the future, not the past. Stop blaming Americans and Jews for all your problems, and take responsibility for your own actions."
