Jewish American Heritage Month

Letter writer Sheila Carrillo is misinformed about the meaning of Zionism. There are 56 Muslim countries in the world today and just one Jewish country the size of New Jersey. Its not right that the only country in the world which is being maligned on college campuses is Israel. The Jewish people are indigenous to this contested land. Jews put Jerusalem on the map in the first place. As Professor Judea Pearl once said, If we examine anti-Zionist ideology closely, we see that its aims are: to uproot one people, the Jewish people, from its homeland, to take away its ability to defend itself in sovereignty, and to delegitimize its historical identity. It is racist and fundamentally eliminationist.
