A Demolition in Jerusalem
To the Editor:
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has criticized as anti-peace the demolishing of part of the home of the wartime pro-Nazi Palestinian leader Haj Amin al-Husseini, which was legally bought by an American Jew, ahead of a recently announced plan to build residential units on the site in eastern Jerusalem (“Bulldozers Move In on East Jerusalem Landmark,” news article, Jan. 10).
But Mrs. Clinton’s criticism makes sense only on the untenable assumption that peace requires racist zoning laws that perversely prohibit Jews — and only Jews — from living in certain neighborhoods of their capital, Jerusalem. Such laws and practices would not be tolerated here, and they have no place in Jerusalem, irrespective of any future peace arrangements.

Do you think Hillary and her advisors grasp the deeper meaning of that?
