Dear Editor,

Your article, Iran’s President Calls Holocaust ‘Myth’ in Latest Assault on Jews, by Karl Vick [Dec. 15, 2005], reports on a matter of great concern regarding nuclear-developing Iran. Not since Adolph Hitler, has the leader of a country threatened to commit genocide against the Jews, and this time it is even more blatant. Iranian President Ahmadinejad now declares his intention to murder the Jews of Israel.

In the 1940’s, Jewish leaders pleaded for countries to intervene, but the world stood silent. Today, with another Holocaust threatened, the same countries do nothing of substance. Expressions of moral outrage, threatened boycotts, and possible UN resolutions merely serve as lip service. The world has another chance to avert catastrophe, yet it does nothing. Are Jewish lives worth so little?
