Inaccurate Headline

Sent to the MetroWest Daily News November 28, 2024:

Dear Editor:

The headline of the article "Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire truce holds" (MWDN, November 28) is inaccurate. Hezbollah violated the truce within minutes of its supposedly taking effect and, as I am writing this now, continues to repeatedly violate it.

Sincerely,

Alan Stein

Danziger Cartoon Inverts Reality

Sent to Rutland Herald (letters@rutlandherald.com) and Palm Beach Post (letters@pbpost.com) January 27, 2025. Dear Editor: The recent Danziger cartoon, distortingly captioned "Some Israeli Hostages Are Home After Over a Year of Merciless War," blatantly and irresponsibly inverts reality both with its caption and the text "Over 40 thousand Palestinians killed ...." The caption should read "A tiny number of innocent Israeli Hostages Are Home, along with hundreds of Palestinian Arab terrorists, After Over a Year of Merciless War started by Hamas with its barbaric pogrom on October 7, 2024." The text should read "The Hamas terrorists claim over 40 thousand Palestinians killed, but fail to mention roughly half of them were terrorists, making the proportion of civilian casualties in Gaza historically low thanks to the unprecedented steps taken by the Israeli military, arguably the most moral in the world."

It should have been sufficient

Sent to The New York Times November 9, 2025 To the editor: The fact that Zoran Mamdani never had a real job in his life and gave no evidence of being able to manage New York City should have been sufficient to prevent anyone interested in the future of the city from voting for him. The fact that his agenda, if put into effect, would bankrupt New York and drive away its most productive residents should have been sufficient to prevent any intelligent person from voting for him. The fact that he is a committed socialist and, to put it euphemistically, socialism has been an abject failure everywhere it's been tried, should have been sufficient to prevent any sane voter from giving him his or her vote. The fact that he refuses to publicly recognize that Hamas is a barbaric terrorist group supported by America's worst enemies whose values irreconcilably conflict with American values and which must be disarmed should have been sufficient to prevent any American citizen who loves our c...

Hamas Must be Effectively Eliminated

Regarding The Post's editorial on the Arab plan for Gaza, it is essential that any plan for the region's future ensure Hamas is effectively eliminated, completely disarmed and unable to play any role, whether military or political, in the governance of Gaza. Any plan lacking that element would simply repeat the errors of the past that led to Oct. 7, 2023, and the current devastation in Gaza, thus satisfying the definition of insanity often attributed to Albert Einstein: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. The Arab plan does nothing to guarantee Hamas's elimination and definitely should not be taken seriously.
