Summary:Sir, - Why is Israel insisting that the Palestinian government agree to abide by previous agreements before negotiations can take place? ("Hamas's willful failure of gov't," Editorial, October 4.) Israel certainly isn't doing that. Withholding the Palestinians' tax money violates the Paris Agreement. Expanding settlements and building the wall violate the Road Map. Netanyahu reneged on the Oslo Accords. Sir, - On Sunday, October 1, Ajax from Amsterdam played against Utrecht in Utrecht. The whole time the Utrecht soccer fans shouted "Hamas, Hamas, Joden aan het gas"; translation unnecessary. Who would have thought that Agudas Yisrael, which rejected and condemned Reb [Shlomo Carlebach], would so evolve! If it would only journey the whole distance toward Reb Shlomo's exalted vision of Hashem and Am Yisrael it could command the respect and affection to truly reach and touch all Jews with those authentic truths they do posess. As of now, it remains on the periphery unknown, ignored and without influence upon the larger Jewish community.
