Leaning right

around the world? What about an understanding that the Holocaust could not have happened had there been an Israel, and recognition that Israel moves to protect Jews worldwide?

Jerusalem

In your October 4 editorial “BDS absurdities,” you write that “the Palestinians have chosen to support an intransigent political leadership .... ”

What can one expect from a right-leaning newspaper?
