Dear Ms. Dubin,
I am grateful for the work you and the others did on this. In my
opinion, though, Gale's response was inadequate. The point is that
Zionism is not racist and should never have been, nor continue to be,
included in the encyclopedia. Adding other national movements to the
encyclopedia, it seems to me, is no solution at all, Nationalism is
not, ipso facto, racial. let alone racialist.If Gale wants to discuss
national movements, I think they should have a separate encyclopedia
for that subject.
Respectfully yours,
