1. Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda

I doubt very much that the letter in question was indeed from a Jew whose relatives perished in the Holocaust. The letter writer's real identity is betrayed when he writes that "We, Jews... will expell Shermer..." etc. It looks like a provocation aimed at inflaming anti-Semitic passions. No Jew in his/her right mind would write such a sentence. Jews in the US are not under delusion of having such a power as to be able to expell anybody, while anti-Semitic propaganda indeed often promulgates such a notion. Neither are normal Jews inclined to expel anybody, even if they could. The letter's writer most likely is an anti-Semite, or, if indeed a Jew, then a crazy one. Btw, my grandparents, aunt, and nephews (one 7 and the other 5) were indeed murdered by the Nazis in 1941, in the city of Stalino (now renamed Yusovsk), betrayed to the Nazis by their Ukrainian neighbors who hardly have ever studied "Darwinism." Shame on Stein.
