To the editor: (re: “Just who are you calling an antisemite in all this?” Sept. 14) Maybe Peter Wolf hates Jews. Maybe not. His years-long campaign in The Riverdale Press spreads lies about Jews and the Jewish state. It hides the endgame of those who seek to annihilate the Jewish state and destroy Jewish national identity (and not simply purify a particular Israeli government). more
