To the Editor:
Jonathan Neumann’s article [“Occupy Wall Street and the Jews,” January] can be boiled down to two of the most well-worn Commentary fixations: (1) There is a Jewish left, despite the best efforts of Commentary; and (2) the Jewish left must worry about its anti-Semitic bedfellows, preferably so much that they cease to exist (and certainly more so than the Jewish right). This is the extent of the piece’s intellectual contribution; next time, Mr. Neumann might consider actually taking the practical questions involved seriously instead of simply repeating shibboleths.
