Dear Mr. Hancox,
Thank you. While I still plan to meet with you as arranged, I
confess that the official Gale response, which you kindly sent, in
no way restores my confidence in its judgement and therefore the
reliability of its products.
It strikes me that the official reply lacks coherence. Gale
recognizes (finally) that nationalism is not the same as racism, but
instead of removing its one article on a national movement, it plans
to include artciles on other national movements and so, at least
implicitly,slur them as well! This might have a certain plausibility
if it renamed its work The Encyclpedia of Nationalism and Racism or
something of the sort, but, even here, there would be an implicit
connection maintained between the two phenomena. My suggestion would
be for the removal of the articles on Zionism from the current
encyclpoedia and, if Gale wishes, the publication of a completely
separate encyclopedia on nationalism in which accurate articles on
Zionism would be completely appropriate.
Also, Gale has nowhere acknowledged the flAwed nature of the original
article which it keeps, unchanged, in the encyclopedia.
Very truly yours,
Shmuel Ben-Gad,
Gelman Library,

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark
places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands
love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."
