I’ve been reading most of the stories in this newspaper regarding the horrific attacks on Israel. It’s sickening that the “journalists” who work for the AP will not call the terrorists “terrorists.” Instead, they refer to them as “militants.” What also ticks me off is that these stories are on page A7 below the weather predictions. In typical fashion, pointless Covid updates and the never-ending climate hysteria make the Recorder front page. In typical fashion, whenever a handful of leftists from Traprock show up on the Greenfield Town Common, the Recorder is always there. I don’t care what offends these people. Never have, never will.
More than 1,300 Jews were brutally murdered on Oct. 7, which delighted RashidaTlaib and the antisemites at Harvard, UMass, etc. Babies were beheaded, women raped. But a recent Recorder contributor insists the “Palestinian militants … are not terrorists” [“Why did Hamas attack Israel?” Oct. 26].
I am fed up with the anti-Israel protests. I try to be optimistic and not let the left get to me, but right now, I am disgusted!
It’s more obvious than ever that most leftists are on the side of the terrorists. Nancy Pelosi’s buddy, U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern, has called for a cease-fire. A Cornell University professor said he was “exhilarated” and “energized” after Hamas burned infants to death. A Yale professor called Israel a “murderous, genocidal settler state.”
Terrorist sympathizers are dangerous. They should be doxxed and fired.
