Re: “Out of food and under constant attack, we Gazans are dying every day” (Might 1, Opinion):
Nour Khalil AbuShammala’s op-ed concerning the dire situations for Gazans presently describes a state of affairs that’s heartbreaking, to make certain. However the absence of any point out of the function that Hamas performs within the creation and upkeep of the present state of affairs is unconscionable.
Hamas has been the bane of existence for Gazans for everything of its 18-year rule, discarding elections, democratic ideas and open dialogue. It began this pointless conflict and has been holding hostages, together with the aged, infants and useless our bodies, for over 18 months now.
What’s the objective of constant to carry hostages and perpetuate the struggling of their folks in a battle that they can not win? The reply is that a part of their political technique is to permit their residents to starve and be killed to “win” political factors on the world stage. And The Seattle Occasions publishing of this one-sided column aids in that technique.
Like most, I lengthy for the tip of this battle. In that vein, the one really caring slogan needs to be: “Free Gaza from Hamas!”
