PROTESTS: No excuse for supporting Hamas

In Jean Felker’s article “No excuse for genocide” who responded to a previous article I wrote, she says, “Let me guess, you were against the Vietnam protest too?” No Jean, I was in Vietnam 1968-1969.

Quote, “carte blanche to kill innocent civilians,” that’s what we did to stop Japan when we dropped two atomic bombs on them Aug. 6 and 9, in 1945, killing over 200,000 civilians.

Unfortunately, that is the price we as people have to pay to stop evil. Let me be clear, Hamas who started this, is pure evil. I could be wrong, but when you rape and kill women in front of their families, cut off heads, burn people alive and such, I call that evil.

Quote, “peaceful protests” maybe you were watching another news outlet, the ones I saw were boarding up and occupying buildings.

Quote, “they are very much informed” talking about the student protestors. Really, they were yelling “from the river to the sea,” which is a Hamas slogan. Do you think these informed protestors realized that this phrase meant the annihilation of the country of Israel and the Jewish people?

Yes, protestors who wear masks are cowards, are they not proud of their disagreements?

I do agree with you, this administration, R & D are both corrupt. I guess with respect, we will disagree with the rest.
