Editor,

I read your article about the Hamas flag at a San Carlos residence with disbelief. It left me asking why Jews are the only group in the world that have to defend themselves for defending themselves.

What exactly is in the Hamas charter? Why don't you show us instead of spouting hatred and what sounds like wild exaggerations.

You conclude that Oct 7 is a sign of war by Hamas. You must have the mind of a 5 year old since October 7 was far more complicated than your apparently simple mind seems to be able to grasp. For example, we know that Israel at least allowed October 7 to happen, and hundreds of the Israeli casualties (many of them liberal peace nicks that were opposed by the far right party of Netanyahu) were at the hands of the Israeli military.

To think that the October 7 attack was unprovoked also indicates acute naivety. Israel had committed many mass casualty attacks and assassinations on Gaza over a long period of time prior to October 7, with thousands of Palestinian casualties. Some Israeli operations, called "moving the grass," far exceeded October 7 in terms loss of life and property loss to residents of Gaza.

Do all Muslims want to kill all the Jews, or just the extreme Muslims that are funded by the likes of the US and Israel? Somehow you seem to forget the extremist Muslims funded and supported by the US and Israel very recently in Syria. The Jihadis that took over Syria with the blessing of Israel also want to kill Christians and any Muslim sect that they disagree with.

Thanks for your comment, JCar, but you’re doing exactly the same thing you’re accusing Mr. Tuck of doing – spouting hatred and what sounds like wild exaggerations. Regardless, Hamas is getting the appropriate response from what they started and we can only hope Israel completes their goal sooner rather than later although there are benefits to reducing the number of Hamas terrorists in prolonging the war.
