EDITOR—Sabby comments on the grotesquely disproportionate complaints and whining proffered by Zionist apologists over a speech that, wile well-intentioned, and even courageous, considering the venue, was nowhere near clear and strong enough to convey the main points. Jonathan Glazer didn’t even utter the word genocide. Instead, he nervously read something that sounded like classic “bothsidism”.

DEBORAH L. ARMSTRONG—Alexander Zavaly grew up in the Ukrainian Republic of the Soviet Union, in the town of Alexandria (Ukrainian: Oleksandriia), about an hour’s drive west of the Dnieper River and five hours’ drive southeast of Kiev. He lived there from the age of six, when his family first relocated there, far from the icy mining town of Vorkuta, above the arctic circle, where he had lived since his birth in 1955. As a child, he was gifted with the ability to draw, but had little opportunity to develop his budding talent. Alexandria was another mining town and his father worked the mines like most of the men in his family, who had no real connection to the world of art.
