Re Bush must step in, Editorial, Aug. 1.
A soft lob by a pro-Israeli paper. You suggest the U.S. should take a more active role to “ease tensions.” How insipid. A huge, modern army spends $11 billion on its military every year to protect a country the size of Lake Ontario. It is pounding a starving opponent huddled in refugee camps. Why does The Star continue to portray this as a fair, even fight?
Palestinians are labelled “fanatics.” What did you call those who used a one-tonne bomb to kill a single man? You go on to say: “They indicated they don’t even care if they kill their own people.” What a ludicrous statement. Those desperate people blow themselves up — regularly. You suggest it’s incumbent on the U.S. to work harder to bring the two sides together. Perhaps the U.S. should cut off the $6 billion per year it sends to Israel. That would get the Israelis’ attention. The Star has sold out. I’m cancelling my subscription.
