WESTMINSTER WEST-In addition to the evils of Dan DeWalt ["Ever more dangerous to speak up," Viewpoint, Sept. 30], the author should vehemently denounce the awarding of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to the rabid anti-Israel propagandist Navi Pillay, who had the temerity of saying Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.
Also, for what it's worth, Athens is not "one town over" from Newfane.
But who cares? Geography can often be anti-Israel, too.
