The Issue: Bethany Mandel’s column on getting hateful messages over her kids attending Jewish summer camp.
I want to thank Bethany Mandel for her inspiring article about the antisemitism that has come to the surface since Oct. 7 (“Vile camp troll name & shame,” Bethany Mandel, Aug. 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.

Chills went down my spine after reading Bethany Mandel’s horrendous recounting of the terrifying “stunt” that frightened innocent children enjoying days at summer camp.
To add insult to injury, the troll Danielle Gordon spilled her vile toward the camp and these children, many of whom suffered beyond our comprehension.
I am glad Fidelity saw fit to cut this mentally disturbed person from its payroll.
Is this a legacy that Danielle Gordon wants to leave? I think not. She should apologize profusely to all concerned. Perhaps some community service would serve her well.

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 of the Sandy Hook victims were awarded $1.5 billion for the trauma resulting from Alex Jones’ false claim that the shooting was faked and never happened. The paragliders’ actions were far worse.
Mandel says she wants to “fight back.” A $1.5 billion lawsuit against the paragliders and all those who assisted them might be a good way to do so. (And I suspect a lot of lawyers would take the case on a contingency fee.)

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.
