Thanks for your letter, Mr. Coal. At this point, the Associated Press is an anti-Trump mainstream media source which mainly acts as a proxy for Democrat talking points. As far as many are concerned, their reporting should be taken with a grain of salt. There’s a reason why they were kicked out of the Oval Office and Air Force One. I wouldn’t be surprised if WH officials figured that regardless if AP attended or not, AP was likely going to make up the news to push the narrative that AP wanted, and not the truth that America deserves.

Hamas made their bed so they and their supporters must lie in it. In addition to releasing all remaining hostages, Hamas needs to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, they’ll continue to reap the “rewards” of their decision to attack Israel. The AP no longer generates sympathy for Hamas. We know their reporting is biased and can be dismissed.

Mike - then there still is the open question why the attack by Hamas was even possible. Some time ago it was reported that Netanyahu was forewarned but he and his security team ignored the warnings. Why? He had promised that a report would be forthcoming to address that calamity. The world is still waiting. He and Churchill must have been groomed by the same governing bodies. Both were/are masters of duplicity.

Stanley, you may or may not get to read this but here goes. Antisemitism is being 'GROOMED' by none other than the Netanyahu regime itself. The constant efforts by settlers and their government to displace Palestinians from their homes, farms and villages, is indeed the best method of creating hatred by the dispossessed. Not rocket science here. When the rest of the world sees the obvious and is told to look away and do nothing, lest they incur the wrath of the US, then you might well see an uptick in antisemitism by those not seeing the big picture.

That picture being the “CLEAN BREAK “ strategic plan taking over from the “land for peace” ideas of the past few decades. The Journal is simply reporting the reality. Just the facts, as they say.

The targeting of doctors and their families and the shooting of those seeking aid and medical help are reported by the IDF soldiers themselves. Don't blame others. The ICJ and the ICC have it about right in that they indict the Netanyahu regime and the Hamas group for war crimes and genocide.

We need to hold to our moral code and not be swayed by those that somehow think keeping one's neighbors in a state of chaos will bring good results. It only guarantees unending conflict and future casualties. Not a future I'd ever wish for my grandchildren, would you?
