Israel backers not interested in dissent

It’s unfortunate that guest columnist Yitzhak Santis got so much wrong in his overwrought piece, “Jewish Voice for Peace whitewashes anti-Semitism in the anti-Israel movement” (March 12).
Among the errors about me: I did not attend the Iranian conference. I did not “promote” the blood libel. In one of my multitude of articles on Israel-Palestine, I reported information from the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz. People who are actually interested in facts may wish to read this article and a related one for themselves. Both are available on our website, IfAmericansKnew.org. 
It’s unfortunate that Israel partisans so often resort to falsehoods, misrepresentations and the constant claim of “anti-Semitism” in their relentless efforts to prevent people from learning unpleasant truths. It’s time they stopped crying wolf and worked to stop the criminal actions of the Israeli government.
