Editor,

Yes, I agree with Julia Lutch that Israel has a right to self-defense, but I disagree with how it is carried out.

Yahya Sinwar was Hamas's leader who purposefully pursued a strategy to create the greatest number of Palestinians casualties in order to get the support of the UN and liberal governments from around the world. Israel's only choice is to fight the war until Hamas is defeated or risk the war spreading into Israel.

I have been a firm supporter of Israel but can no longer stomach the callousness of Netanyahu. Even our President was appalled after Netanyahu proclaimed that there was no starvation the the Gaza. The pictures and videos do not lie. Our news media are not showing the horrific details that are reported daily on TV in Europe. Netanyahu is now a war criminal and we should treat him as such.

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Thiel, and your attempt to blame the victim. The bottom line is that Hamas initiated the massacre while they continue to hold hostages, dead and alive, as bargaining chips. As far as many are concerned, Hamas made their bed and until they release all hostages and surrender unconditionally, they deserve what they get. More power to Netanyahu to finish his mission. Perhaps then, there will be peace for Israel and the Palestinian people.
