Dear Bari,

Please provide a counter article to the one that Michael Walzer wrote. He obviously has no clear understanding of what Hamas has done and still plans to do, which is to repeat the atrocities of October 7 until all Jews are killed and Israel destroyed "from the river to the sea." Meaning all of it. There is no possible diplomatic solution to this. Nor has any army in the world, when facing a hostile, genocidal enemy, provided such enemy with "humanitarian aid," which Israel alone is expected to do and actually is doing. In addition, no other army in the world has taken so many precautions against civilian casualties as the IDF, which is made excruciatingly difficult because Hamas stores arms and hides terrorists in and under schools, hospitals, mosques, and residential neighborhoods. Any war will have civilian casualties and mistaken "friendly fire" but Israel has kept the numbers below what other armies have done, including ours in the United States. It surprises me that you would print Walzer's inept and factually weak evaluation of this just war.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Bunny Shuch
