No justification for Elizabeth Warren promoting a blood libel

To the editor:

Elizabeth Warren is both too intelligent and, as a long-serving United States Senator, too well-informed to believe there's even a scintilla of validity to the case brought against Israel by the corrupt, pro-Hamas South African regime.

I share her belief that the the equally corrupt ICJ, dominated by "justices" appointed by and following the diktats of the world's worst violators of human rights, will likely uphold South Africa's (baseless) charges. Inexplicably, she went beyond expressing that reasonable belief when she said those judges "have ample evidence to do so?"

Besides demonstrating her own moral bankruptcy, promoting a blood libel also empowers not only Hamas, its fellow terror groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah and their primary sponsors and financiers Iran and Qatar, but the rest of America's most dangerous enemies, including Russia, China and North Korea. In doing so, she increases the dangers faced not only by our own citizens, including the constituents for whose interests she is supposed to be working, but all our democratic friends and allies.

There is no justification for her conscious betrayal of truth, American values and American interests.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein

That major U.N. agency (UNRWA) should be in chaos

The Huffington Post is not known for treating Israel fairly. The February 1 article A Major U.N. Agency Is In Chaos. It’s Making Life Even Harder In Gaza  was no exception. So I sent the following letter to the Huffington Post at corrections@huffingtonpost.com, with a copy to the pro-terrorists, anti-Israel author Akbar Shahid Ahmed (akbar.ahmed@huffpost.com): Re the February 1, 2024 article "A Major U.N. Agency Is In Chaos. It’s Making Life Even Harder In Gaza" (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/us-un-unrwa-gaza-israel-aid_n_65bc2d3ee4b0a3aad5a464d7) by Akbar Shahid Ahmed: Besides being totally misguided, the article is infused with factual errors. In terms of being misguided: The article totally whitewashes the utter failure of UNRWA, which would have faded away seven decades ago if it hadn't already failed. It also whitewashes the way UNRWA, to greatly understate the situaion, is part of the problem. It's been no secret that UNRWA schools have been educating children

Give Israel the credit it deserves

Sent to the Boston Globe February 12: To the editor: While getting tremendous pressure, even from its friends, to refrain from going into Rafah because of the dense population, Israel provided graphic evidence of the obvious need to root Hamas from Rafah and its ability to continue to minimize civilian casualties, already evident from the fact that the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza has been less than a quarter of that expected by the UN in urban combat. First, Israel revealed the way not only was UNRWA's main headquarters in Gaza City directly above a terror tunnel containing a major Hamas command and data processing center, but provided power for Hamas' facility and Hamas terrorists actually worked out of offices in UNRWA's headquarters! Second, Israel conducted an amazing operation in the heart of Rafah, rescuing two hostages there, killing a number of terrorists and doing it without a single civilian casualty! Without Israel rooting Hamas out of Rafah, Ha

Hamas disarming? Get real.

Dear Editor: One can only laugh at the report that Khalil al-Hayya, referred to as a top official of the barbaric Hamas terror group, said Hamas would disarm "if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders." That would be about as likely as it bringing back to life the babies it decapitated and incinerated on October 7. And don't the Palestinian Arabs claim there already exists an independent Palestinian state? Mahmoud Abbas calls himself the president of the "State of Palestine" and is recognized as such by most of the members of the United Nations, as well as the UN General Assembly. Would Hamas disarming even make a difference? Would Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah or any of the dozens of other Palestinian terror groups also disarm? Would Hezbollah send its 150,000 rockets back to Iran? Would the Houthis stop launching missiles at Israel? Would the Iranian mullahs stop leading chants of "Death to Israel" and "Death t
