Did it occur to you that boycotting Israel means that you are wishing for your family to starve (“Standing with her grandchild,” Letters, Jan. 14)?
If you read the “not-so-fine print” of the platform of Evergreen radicals you will see that the “two-state solution” they are talking about are Jordan and Palestine, once all the Palestinian refugees come back to Israel! When was the last time there was a demonstration against Hamas or Hezbollah allowed on campus? And who are you protecting?
Have you seen the hateful content in the Palestinian media? Did they ever actively take real courageous steps by their leaders to resolve the conflict? Step against their own extremists? Should Israel open the gates to those who want to destroy and kill?
If your bright granddaughter would study in Ashkelon, Sderot or Beer Sheva, and a Kassam missile would hit her classroom, that Kassam missile would not care that little Emily is a Hamas supporter, liberal, conscientious Jew.
Your young bright granddaughter will be torn to tiny little pieces on the concrete floor just like any other Jew in her class.
