Re: “No need for Israel,” Letter, July 23.

When Columbia University president Lee Bollinger introduced former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in September 2007, Bollinger said of Ahmadinejad: “You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated.” It’s a shame the Herald did not give David Holgate’s letter the proper introduction.
