The Issue: Bethany Mandel’s column on getting hateful messages over her kids attending Jewish summer camp.
I want to express my gratitude to Bethany Mandel for her uplifting piece on the rise of antisemitism since October 7 (“Vile camp troll name & shame,” Bethany Mandel, August 20).
Antisemitism has always been there, but now ordinary people shout it out as commonplace.
Jews have to start responding. I have funds at Fidelity, and I am glad that Danielle Gordon has been terminated.

Reading Bethany Mandel’s distressing account of the alarming “stunt” that terrorized innocent children at summer camp sent chills down my spine.
To make matters worse, the troll Danielle Gordon directed her malice toward the camp and these children, many of whom have endured unimaginable hardships.
I am glad Fidelity saw fit to cut this mentally disturbed person from its payroll.
Is this the legacy Danielle Gordon intends to leave behind? I doubt it. She owes a sincere apology to everyone involved and might benefit from some community service.

Bethany Mandel’s column shows how mainstream anti-Jew hate has become.
The paragliding stunt traumatized and terrorized the children attending the camp and their families.
The families affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy received $1.5 billion due to the damage caused by Alex Jones’ false assertion that the shooting was fabricated. The actions of the paragliders were considerably more egregious.
Mandel expresses her desire to “fight back.” Pursuing a $1.5 billion legal case against the paragliders and their enablers could be an effective approach. (I suspect many lawyers would accept this case on a contingency basis.)

Kudos to Bethany for naming the despicable and hateful antisemite, Danielle Gordon, who so cruelly attacked the kids who survived Oct. 7.
It’s also so satisfying to see that Fidelity canned her! But buck up, Dani: I’m sure the Democratic National Committee will bring you on and make good use of your “talents.”

The Issue: A judge’s sentence of probation and therapy for a convicted rapist.
I couldn’t believe what I read: Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Josh Hanshaft literally let this piece of garbage walk without jail time (“Just therapist for a rapist,” Aug. 20).
Hathaway raped this poor woman and gets probation and therapy. This judge should be removed immediately.
What is going on in New York state and our country? A rapist is convicted and walks.
How would this judge feel if that woman was his daughter or his wife? Oh, rest assured that scum would have gotten jail time.
What a disgrace! And they wonder why people are fleeing New York.

Fairly often I read of judges, activist or not, who give sexual and violent offenders very light sentences or treatment.
Time for accountability for judges who release or give sexual and violent offenders a second chance. Have a spine and do your job. Most taxpayers demand it.

Maybe if some of these liberal judges had been car-jacked, raped or robbed, they would not be so lenient with their sentences.
Then they would know how this experience can change someone’s life.
