Letter

In response to Australia and the Israeli-Hamas War

Most certainly, we hold no sympathy for Hamas....

Please, please, there is no need to highlight the so-called atrocities Hamas is accused of committing on October 7th - very, very few of them are proven or substantiated.

If 1200 died, there is now ample evidence via Al Jazeera and the Electronic Intifada, Haaretz, and various other Israeli sources that many, if not most were murdered by Israeli fire.

The Hamas incursion is a pimple on Mount Everest in comparison to the thousands of such incursions and slaughters committed by Israel since 1948.

To single out Hamas is a classic case of blaming the victim for FINALLY retaliating.
