Pro-Hamas grads
New York University is doing the right thing in pre-recording commencement speeches (“Grads censored unceremoniously,” Rikki Schlott, March 25).
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Pro-Hamas commencement speakers are in the business of making a fool of NYU’s administration, who’ve shown zero ability to exclude Jew-hatred from their speeches.
NYU has courageously decided that commencement audiences are not there to be subjected to Hitlerian rants.

DA’s arrest bluff
Following Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s juvenile stunt for the cameras, where he threatened to arrest ICE agents at airports, evidently no one has informed him that if he violates the law he will be arrested, put into cuffs, brought into court and, if necessary, put into a jail cell (“Philly DA: I’ll cuff ICE,” March 26).
And don’t bet on the governor pardoning him.

Columbus the hero
Christopher Columbus is one of history’s greatest superheroes (“A True Hero Restored,” Rich Lowry, PostOpinion, March 24).
His four voyages to a terra incognita forever altered the fate of our planet, sparking a globalization of peoples, plants, microbes and cultures (the Columbian Exchange).
Without the “Admiral of the Ocean Sea,” America’s more perfect union — with its tripartite government, Constitution and separation of powers — might never have emerged.

FARE Act failure
Good on The Post for recognizing the potential correlation between free-market apartments reaching another historic high, and the advent of the FARE Act: a gift from politicians who “help” residents while having little understanding of markets (“Record high rents,” March 22).
Landlords in a market with a 2% vacancy rate passing on costs that were passed on to them?
Never!
I’m sure that this also hurt the livelihoods of entrepreneurial and hard-working real-estate brokers and salespeople.
When do politicians ever apologize for or alter the unintended negative consequences of their actions?
Never.

E-bike nonsense
Nassau County’s new noise about banning e-bikes and scooters is a campaign ad under color of law and should be corrected by our courts as soon as possible (“Nassau’s e-bike curb,” March 23).
To pretend a statute says what it does not is a fraud, as is a baseless claim to provide “safety” through police harassment of delivery workers.
Such things are unworthy of a candidate for state governor.

Ukraine’s strength
Your editorial on Ukraine is right on the money, and I hope President Trump is reading (“Ukraine’s Service to Civilization,” Editorial, March 26).
The damage Ukraine is inflicting on the Russian military is helping the United States all over the world, from Iran to Cuba.
Ukraine has also offered the United States unparalleled drone tech that our president inexplicably disrespects.
If Trump does not come around to realize that Russia is the enemy, then Ukrainians will need to fight until he’s out of office, and they will.
