Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi ... All Muslim terrorist groups sponsored by Iran to destroy Israel. The tiny Jewish nation of only 10 million includes a large percentage of both Arab and gentiles who seem to be able to assimilate and benefit from their citizenship.
The Israelis have the highest per capita number of patents advancing medicine and science of any country in the world. They have learned from the Holocaust and the unprecedented massacre, which documented rape, torture, baby beheadings and hostage taking.
They have every right to defend themselves and seek to kill those whose stated goal is annihilating the Jewish people. We should be praying for success in destroying the terrorists and the Iranian mullahs who back them if there is ever to be peace and normalcy in the Middle East.
BTW – As with, “Silencing Gaza’s journalists silences the world,” (Herald, Aug. 31), will you be publishing an editorial on Russian genocide of Ukrainians and recommending we cease financial and military support?
