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

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...

Braude and Eagen Falsely Accuse Others of Lying in a BPR Podcast in Which they Constantly Lie

 Sent to: bpr@wgbh.org, info@wgbh.org, ooffice@npr.org and feedback@npr.org [Since this concerns the podcast hosted by Jim Braude and Margery Eagan, please share this letter with them.] To Boston Public Radio I was truly astounded when I listened to the portion of the podcast "BPR Full Show 3/04" Superintendent Priya Tahiliani Says Brockton Was 'A Perfect Match' having to do with the current battle with Iran. The podcasts contained an amazing amount of misleading statements, misguided statements and outright lies, something of which that the hosts kept falsely Trump Administration officials, particularly the Secretary of State. As one of the most prominent examples: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio seemingly let the truth out yesterday about the rationale for attack. It was actually two days ago for attacking Iran. But of course, he very quickly backtracked. Here are his original statements. We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that w...

Moulton is the opposite of a profile in courage

Submitted to the Boston Globe November 11, 2025 To the editor: Globe readers should be aware of facts that rarely if ever make it into the newspaper. When Hamas started the Gaza war with its barbaric October 7 massacre, it was obvious that it was a war between good and evil. Two years later, Israel remains the force for good and Hamas and its supporters remain on the side of evil. Despite Hamas turning virtually every home, school, hospital and mosque in Gaza into a terror base, using them both to attack Israelis and to use them and the civilians in them to protect its terrorist fighters, despite its admitted strategy of using civilians as human shields and trying to maximize its own civilian casualties, Israel managed to keep the civilian to combatant casualty ratio down to historically low levels, roughly a ninth of that recognized as the norm for urban warfare by the United Nations Security Council in 2022. In the course of the war, as a tiny democracy fighting on nine different fro...
