To the editor: Sluggish clap for each Hamas and Israel working collectively to make sure their youngsters die in future wars. (“Tons of rally at Israeli consulate in LA, name for cease-fire in Gaza,” Nov. 4)
I haven’t got to attend till 2033 to learn the information; I can write it proper now: As we speak’s orphans will likely be tomorrow’s terrorists.
Hamas’ assaults and Israel’s reprisals blind either side with rage and grief, in order that no speak is feasible. Even right here within the West, the dialogue appears to be: “Who’s the worst offender?”
This is a modest suggestion: Each events speak a great recreation about dwelling in peace and safety, so perhaps they need to begin appearing prefer it.
The Palestinian folks want a house with assets they will stay on. Israel wants good neighbors and buying and selling companions. Perhaps they will agree on that. Or do they each need extra of the identical?
You might say that I’m naive, that I’ll not perceive the motives of the events and their allies. However you’re so good and the way does it be just right for you?

To the editor: I typically educate Elie Wiesel’s heartbreaking Holocaust memoir, “Evening” to my highschool college students. At the very least one pupil often asks, “Why did not anybody do something?”
Now, seeing our complicity in what is occurring within the Gaza Strip, I can lastly reply this query.
We do nothing as a result of we don’t perceive that genocide is happening. Males, ladies and youngsters are sitting geese for the Israeli bombs. All they will do is undergo and die.
Actually, we do one factor: We ship billions of {dollars} to Israel.
All shouldn’t be misplaced, nevertheless. Final week I attended an attractive, peaceable march for Palestine in Irvine. We walked and we sang, solely generally I could not sing as a result of I used to be choked with tears.
Eighteen brave members of Congress have sponsored Decision 786, which requires a right away de-escalation and ceasefire. I urge my congressman, Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Pacoima), to hitch them.
It is time for America to begin doing the appropriate factor. As one of many indicators on the protest I attended stated: “It isn’t difficult; it’s genocide.”

To the editor: Many of the worldwide neighborhood sided with Israel after the October 7 assault on Israeli civilians. However as typical, as soon as Israel retaliates and Gazans are inadvertently killed – actually because Hamas makes use of them as shields – attitudes change.
The stress on Israel to provoke a ceasefire is misplaced. Worldwide stress ought to be on Hamas to launch all hostages earlier than a ceasefire might be mentioned.
Hamas is the one who began this conflict, not Israel.
