Letters to the Editor

New York Times

Your new columnist Tony Jundt can write, but he can’t see straight.  Turkey hasn’t been lost to the West by Israel’s defending itself.  It’s been lost by EU’s keeping it out.  Its been lost by its own Islamic President pushing it backward from a course of modernity begun by Kemal Ataturk a hundred years ago.  Jundt doesn’t like Israel perhaps because he is blinded by sympathy to what he sees as an oppressed people.  He needs to investigate who opposed them and he will find it’s been their wrong minded, negative, and too often corrupt leadership.  Or maybe he is just a hater looking for reasons to hate.

Sincerely,

Peter Dwares
