I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. It's unfair and exhausting and such a colossal waste of your time and energy.

Great news! More people (of all faiths) need to keep speaking out against antisemitic acts and all hate. Thank you for doing this.

I’m glad that they took the one star down but I’m deeply saddened that you were hacked. I just hope that you stay safe but as I said earlier, it’s so refreshing that you use your voice for not everyone in this world does today. Those of us do sometime have a harder road to travel, but I think that you are doing extraordinarily well. You are truly inspirational.

I stand with you along with many others.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I never thought I’d see such anti-Semitism in my lifetime as what I’ve seen since October. Keep up the good work and hang in there. You’ve got a lot of supporters on your side.

Dear Zibby, stay safe.

Yay re Goodreads! I'm so sorry you have to deal with all the antisemitic hate, at a time you should be celebrating Pippa and Blank (ugh).

Oh Zibby. Keep the faith. There are so many hornets nests being whacked. And you are showing the world in real time what antisemitism in all its ugly and insidious forms looks like.

Glad it’s down but so sorry you had to deal with these vicious antisemites. As Jews, we’re fighting against this hate every day. We can never let them win.

Unbelievable! Those haters rally immaturity, insensitivity and jealousy in the hopes of getting recognition albeit negative. Not unlike individuals who continually boast falsehoods in an attempt to belittle others. Either way, your achievements in all things book, will continue to outshine, out reason and outlast the naysayers. I’m sorry you have had to put up with this!

Hi Zibby, you may want to contact the Anti-Defamation League. Perhaps they can be of some assistance. The haters will take every opportunity to wreak havoc. So sorry for what you are going through. Loren Stephens

Great work, Zibby! "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?" The day of reckoning for the Hamas Nazi death cult is coming. I see more and more neighbors who haven't paid attention before to the Mideast are done with the whole Palestinian big lie.

Glad GR did the right thing.

You know, this really chaps my tushie! You would think that with all the amazing technology we have that corporations would spend their limitless resources on making sure this kind of digital abuse does not happen and if it does, that it is properly prosecuted. You are correct, Libby, it IS intrusive, it is an assault, a threat.

Can you not send the emails to your spam/junk folder and block the addresses instead of shutting down your email?

Zibby, thanks for sharing the good news with us an about Goodreads decision to remove the rating and review. I applaud Goodreads for doing the right thing. The email hack is another matter. What a waste of your time and emotional energy as you work your way through those problems. I have personally quit visiting social media sites in the past 8 plus years due to the meanness of those who disagree with my humble opinions. I do not have the time or the heart to read notes from people who are mean and hateful. Take care.
