The mysterious letter

In your weekend, Oct. 26-27 edition I read about the “mysterious letter” that Kriss Worthington received accusing him of “siding with anti-Jewish and-anti Israel forces.” I was shocked at this denouncement of a truly decent, honorable and courageous man who authored hate crime legislation here in Berkeley. To make just one point: It is true that the Palestinian protest came on Holocaust Remembrance Day. However, what the letter omitted was that on that day Kriss participated in Hillel's 24-hour reading of the names of Holocaust victims.
