I didnt notice it at the time, but Elie Wiesel took out a full-page ad in the Washington Post in order to post an open letter to President Obama pleading with him not to put pressure on Israel to stop settlements in Jerusalem. The text can be found here. The most recent issue of the New York Review of Books published a very critical response to Wiesel from some one hundred inhabitants of Jerusalem who accuse him of defending a "sentimental abstraction" quite different from the concrete reality of their daily lives. I dont know anything about the group that arranged the reply, but I must say that in this caseall my sympathies go with them.
