Letter: From Jewish sources
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: With reference to your article (20 January) which refers to me as an 'anti-Semitic publisher . . . who wields a poisonous pen', while the comments about my late husband by Gerry Gable have offended me, I can take the remainder of the article in my stride.
My pamphlets are based on my books, a serious study of comparative civilisation, the only aim of which has been to find out the truth. It just happened that where Judaism unexpectedly turned out to fit in the category of Eastern socio-religions, quotations from Jewish sources have proved very useful to illustrate my point.
This is interpreted as anti-Semitism. So it is interesting that my argument could only be countered not on an equally intellectual basis but in a vicious article of ridiculous length containing nothing of substance and with the sole aim of putting me in an unfavourable light.
Yours faithfully,
