Re: “This MLK Day, I’ve to talk out on Gaza” [Jan. 15, Local News]:
Columnist Naomi Ishisaka used Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote “The last word measure of a person isn’t the place he stands in moments of consolation and comfort, however the place he stands at instances of problem and controversy” to deplore U.S. help for Israel within the ongoing Israel-Hamas warfare. Exhibiting zero empathy for Israelis massacred by Hamas on Oct. 7 and nil concern for greater than 200 hostages taken, she blames Israel for the brutal bloodbath and vilifies Israel for the plight that has befallen Gaza, with out even a point out that Gaza’s elected management, Hamas, might need any position within the destruction of Gaza and the continuing horrors going through Palestinians in Gaza.
If there may be even the slightest probability for peace within the Center East and a brand new and brighter future for Palestinians, the world must be “coming collectively in unison” to not demand a cease-fire in Gaza however to defeat Hamas and all Iranian proxies bent on destabilization.
