People "Acknowledge It"

Submitted by George A. Goldberg (United States), Sep 6, 2005 at 18:18

Dear Mr. Pipes,

I am grateful for your columns, other writings, and your myriad other activities. Keep up the outstanding work; we need you!

Re the content of your final paragraph: There is no Jewish individual I have spoken with who "resists acknowledging it." I don't know if official Jewish organizations ("organized Jewry") are burying their heads in the sand, or not, but please distinguish in your own mind between individual Jews and the "American Jewish Leadership." I suspect you can produce some references [I appreciate your persisting attention to references] to illustrate resistance to "acknowledging it," but my guess is they will emanate from those organizations.

Good luck trying to wake them up! ... but please keep in mind that "the people" understand what is going on.

Again, many thanks to you for your absolutely necessary, first-class work.
