The Gazans and Hamas started this round of conflict. Everybody knows that. “Ignore Jamie, it only knows how to post knee-jerk reactions and quote the Jerusalem Post.”

My sincere regrets at the brutalization and murder of the Gazans that is enabled by my own criminal government.

Israel stole land and bulldozed town homes of people who had lived there for generations. They built a wall around palistine inside of palistine and sniper people daily. They killed over 100 civilians this weekend. Of course some are driven to fight back and blow themselves up out of desperation not because they hate freedom. These people have no power, gas , water what would you do if a country did these things to you? Hamas did not start this war.

Thank you, Robert Green. There is a first-rate article by Uri Avnery of Gush Shalom (Peace Now), which I caught posted at antiwar.com today. It describes much of the reasons behind the current (and long-term) slaughter in Palestine. (Much better described than the childish, adolescent finger-pointing illogic and threatening nonsense in the letter above). If you seek truth, rectify the names, Confucius advised. Mr. Green has penetrated the mist of language in order to reveal truth in a powerful way. Excellent poem.

They started it. They can end it whenever they choose to. Or it could be ended for them. It’s Hamas’ war.
They started it.
They can end it whenever they choose to.
Or it could be ended for them.

Thanks so much. A student of mine from Ramallah came to class yesterday ashen faced. I didn't have the heart to ask. And who can she talk to? At a presumably "liberal" college, no one dares utter a peep. Of course, there's always a hearty amen chorus waiting to be assembled to condemn genocide in Sudan or the Balkans. Damn those who are perpetrating and financing this atrocity. Damn those who apologize for it. Damn them to hell. Beautiful work. Thanks so much.
