Letter from Larry Shapiro, Calgary to the Washington Post re article stating that 39% of American Jews claim Israel is committing genocide, October 4, 2025

Re: Many American Jews sharply critical of Israel on Gaza, Post poll finds, Most Jews say Israel is committing war crimes - and 39 percent say genocide - while often distinguishing between the country and its leadership By Naftali Bendavid, Scott Clement and Emily Guskin, Oct. 4, 2025, Washington Post

Dear Editor,

Jews are always going on about how many of their people have received Nobel Prizes way out of proportion to their numbers. Obviously, the 39% of American Jews who accuse Israel of committing genocide are not candidates. Anyone who accuses Israel of committing a genocide when it has moved millions of Gazans out of the war zones to protect them is on the same intellectual level as Marjorie Taylor Greene who stated that Jewish space lasers are responsible for California's fires. All this ignorance is the responsibility of the media that disposed to mistrust Israel relies on Palestinian provided information even when official refutations are available.
