To the editor:

Joseph Levine gives the wrong answer in his column "Is Boycotting Israel 'Hate?'"

The founders of the BDS movement have made it quite clear that its goal is the liquidation of the world's only Jewish state. One of its most "eloquent" proponents, Anna Balizer, quite concisely said "We need to wipe out Israel."

If that's not hate, I don't know what is.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein

The Comedian: United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

Speaking to a reporter at the United Nations headquarters, Ban Ki-moon, apparently with a straight face, said: "I don't think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations."
