JANUARY 29, 2020 MOTIVATED BY the desire to think locally and write globally, Sarah Abrevaya Steins award-winning, lyrical scholarship has explored modern Jewish history in unexpected places and forms, from the turn-of-the-20th-century, boom-and-bust, global ostrich-feather market to the intimate, everyday fashion through which Mediterranean Jews contributed to the shaping of the modern world.

In Arab and Muslim lands, anti-Semitism is often expressed as both hatred of Jews and hatred of Israel, and is very frequently bolstered by Holocaust denial. Delegitimizing the Jewish state can serve as a means to reverse the humiliation, degradation, and oppression of Muslims. In Eastern Europe, right-wing, nationalist parties have taken control, often rewriting Holocaust history, and often with the support of groups that are strongly anti-Semitic and have adopted Nazi slogans and agendas.

The opportunity of the centuryIn The Palestinian leadership should not reject Trumps peace plan (January 28), Jason Greenblatt and Bishara Bahbah lay out a path toward reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis. They urge the Palestinians to look at the plan and make constructive suggestions, to not miss another opportunity to move forward, to make a better future for their people.So, it is ironic that on the same page, in The international community should say no to the Trump plan, Nimrod Goren implores the international community to oppose the plan. Goren offers no new solutions, and falsely notes that the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank made a decision to conduct their national struggle in the diplomatic arena, glossing over facts such as that the Palestinian government pays to slay; educates its citizens to hate Jews; and empowers its media and religious institutions to incite to violence.Moreover, the Palestinians have already said no to much more generous offers than those apparently on the table, so what is Goren thinking might be acceptable to them?It is time for all to actually read the plan Goren included and say, Yes, lets talk.BARRY LYNNEfratI have just read The international community should say no to the Trump plan
