See dealer for details 200'7 Cadillac Escalade so POW • How rich that your trash story on GM was published on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor ("Hitler's Carmaker:' Dec. 7, page 15). Will next week's issue detail what Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen did to Jews in Germany during this peri- od? What about the role of Japanese car companies and their aid for the Japanese war effort, which killed tens of thousands of Americans. Six pages on GM's supposed sup- port of Hitler because its subsidiary was German and taken over by Hitler during World War II. We Jews should be thankful for GM's efforts during this war, which enabled our country to triumph. As citizens of Detroit, you should be ashamed of yourselves for rehashing and publishing such drivel.

Said is the son of the late Edward Said, the controversial Columbia University professor whose anti-Israel revisionist tracts and hateful anti- Israel "Orientalist" libels were racist. Wadie Said is also racist in his demon- ization of Israel and intends to use his position to promulgate his spurious anti-Israel "academics:' A close exami- nation of his record shows that he bends facts to conclusions, which are consistent with his anti-Semitic, anti- Israel bias. Having read Daniel Pipes' column on Said ("Redeeming The Wayward University:' Dec. 7, page 34) and the IN articles about anti-Israel senti- ment at Wayne, and having heard a Wayne Law student make a heartfelt LIBERTY.

December 14 2006 Jgq Said Wrong For Law School I appreciate your airing of the con- cerns of many in the community regarding the possible hiring of Wadie Said as a law professor at Wayne State University ("Reject Wadie Said at WSU:' Nov. 30, page 9, and the Daniel Pipes column "Redeeming the Wayward University" Dec. 7, page 34). Mr. Said's ascendancy to a teach- ing position at the law school would further poison an already conten- tious academic setting for Jewish and Zionist students. Mr. Said is the son of former Columbia University Professor Edward Said, whom many of your readers will remember as a frequent televi- sion news guest during the 1980s, constantly spewing invective against Israel when she endeavored to defend herself. The younger Mr. Said has spoken at events sponsored by Al Awda, an organization advocating the Palestinian "right of return" — the belief that Palestinians have a claim to pre-1967 Israel. Consistent with that view, he supports a "one-state" solu- tion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, i.e., the destruction of the State of Israel. Ben Mayer Oak Park Letters on page 9 WS.

West Bloomfield 48322 appeal to our community to become informed and get involved, I contacted the university and urge others to do so as well. The student told the audi- ence that Jewish students feel that their Jewish identity is under assault at Wayne and how hiring Wadie Said will aggravate anti-Israel hostilities on campus and in the wider Detroit area. No other minority group would tolerate such a professor at a publicly supported university. luatuelsai maN aril to suo!leisue4 Apea ul Jeadde op ing isain4dpas malcial4 eq. ui papnpu! aae qielnuetio to Anis aq nal pqm '11 pue l isaacienew lo loog aqi :JaMsuy •r,Copyright 2006.
