To the Editor:
Re "Gentiles of the Year 2012": If anyone in his right mind would list supporters of Israel and Jewish causes, surely Canadian Prime Minister Harper should take first place, and all those wonderful people who spoke up in defense of Israel should follow, including Nazi hunters, sportscasters, etc. Milliped is cute and probably very lucky — could be included for fun. But Obama has absolutely no place here; just the opposite!
