Re: “This MLK Day, I have to speak out on Gaza” [Jan. 15, Local News]:
Columnist Naomi Ishisaka used Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote “The final word measure of a person will not be the place he stands in moments of consolation and comfort, however the place he stands at instances of problem and controversy” to deplore U.S. assist for Israel within the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Displaying zero empathy for Israelis massacred by Hamas on Oct. 7 and 0 concern for greater than 200 hostages taken, she blames Israel for the brutal bloodbath and vilifies Israel for the plight that has befallen Gaza, with out even a point out that Gaza’s elected management, Hamas, may need any function within the destruction of Gaza and the continued horrors going through Palestinians in Gaza.
If there’s even the slightest likelihood for peace within the Center East and a brand new and brighter future for Palestinians, the world must be “coming collectively in unison” to not demand a cease-fire in Gaza however to defeat Hamas and all Iranian proxies bent on destabilization.
