(re: “What is going on with Israel?” Oct. 3)
While Richard Warren claims to use “facts and logic” in his smears of Israel, he couldn’t have done much “research and thinking” before repeating the well-worn canard about Hamas-directed “peaceful protests” at the Gaza border.
They are anything but, as the many pictures of those now nearly year-and-a-half weekly Friday events clearly attest.
Gazans are being shamelessly used by their Hamas overlords as some are now beginning to realize. One father lamented his son’s sad fate, who having been bussed to the border and then shot in the leg, was left unattended in the street by Hamas operatives who had no more use for him.
The father noted how much differently the wounded sons of Hamas leaders would be treated. But that is a moot point, for they would never be sent into danger.
If Warren really cared for the Palestinians, he would be condemning, not Israel, but Hamas.
