Haddiyah Ali’s thoughtful Viewpoint 07.02.2021, raised crucial social justice concerns in connection with recent events in Israel/Palestine and the State of Connecticut’s investment exposure in Israel, presently $47.3 million. Mark Fishman and Alan Stein disagree. The Fishman/Stein defensive Viewpoint asserts that Ms. Ali presented a “highly misleading screed.” However, a fact-check finds no falsehoods in Ms. Ali’s assertions. The Fishman/Stein response launches a narrative proclaimed as “the truth” that ignores fundamental crucial facts that propel the ongoing Israel/Palestine tragedy. Their effort is less about candor and more about discrediting any criticism of Israel – including legitimate criticism.
