Just once I would like to read a group of letters in the New York Times about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which the pro-Israel writers do not have Jewish last names and the pro-Palestinian or pro-Arab writers do not have Arab last names.
Okay, it does happen — but rarely.
I wish we human beings were better at seeing past our own ethnic identities. I include myself in that.
I would like some day to see statements in support of Israel that do not come from either Jews or fundamentalist Christians.
They just never print my letters……I think they are mostly pithy in nature and wonder what the trick is to getting printed. Just once to see my name in the Times would be awesome.
I’ve had a couple printed and a few that were not printed. It’s pretty neat to see your own name there.
