Cluster Bombs to Ukraine – Not a Good Idea 

Dear Editor:

President Biden’s one of many stupid decisions may be his most catastrophic for world peace. If not that high, it at least is one of his most brutal when it comes to inhumane war decisions. And that is to send to Ukraine, a supply of our cluster bombs to use as he sees fit. A cluster bomb, when dropped, explodes and each one releases thousands of flesh shredding smaller bombs that devastate an area the size of a football field. This use of this type or munition has been declared a violation of the rules of war by many, including the United Nations Security Council, a group not noted for its merciful membership.

Once Zelensky gets this weapon, we have no control over when, how and where he’d use it. He may drop it on Moscow or other civilian areas where the amount of destruction of innocent human life may be catastrophic enough for Russia to unleash a nuclear device in retaliation. There is no telling just what the use of this weapon may entail for the future. This weapon has not yet been used in warfare but held in abeyance as a last resort before nuclear devices are used. It has been understood that it is not an ordinary munitions device such as cannon and rockets. It is that devastating in its destruction

Joe Biden is overstepping the bounds of stupidity in giving this device to Zelensky. We may be sucked into a nuclear war with Russia by his use of this weapon.

Hiding Behind “Desperation”

Dear Editor:

“When Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948, it extended the hand of friendship to its Arab neighbors…that offer was spurned. Instead, five Arab armies declared war on the fledgling Jewish state, seeking its total destruction.” David Harris.  In 1972, Arafat orchestrated the butchering of Israeli athletes at Munich, as the inaugural event to announce the formation of the bloody PLO which has waged war against Israel ever since.

If the cowardly and ignorant West would have put immediate and consistent pressure on these so-called “Palestinian” Arabs to negotiate and accept the many fair peace offers, instead of falsely blaming the true victim, Israel, they would have been celebrating their statehood. “They rejected U.S. and Israeli offers for statehood in exchange for peace: in 2000 at Camp David; 2001 at Taba and 2008 after the Annapolis Conference. The 2008 offer would have given the Palestinians a state with its capital in eastern Jerusalem and 93% of the West Bank with land swaps to make up the difference.” (“Missed Opportunity: Olmert, Abbas and Tablet Magazine, Nov. 23, 2015).

Truly desperate people have no choices or options. Yes, they are “desperate.” They are in desperate need of Islamic Imams who will stop preaching Jew hate on their official P.A. TV. Their children are in desperate need of parents and leaders who will stop sending their children to summer camps to learn how to kill Jews as a holy act of Islamic Jihad martyrdom.

The “Palestinian” Arabs, Hamas and Arabs in Gaza are in desperate need for America, Europeans, the West, the world, to call upon them to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. Call upon them to give up the unreasonable right of return for millions of second and third generation fake “refugees,” who are being used solely as a tool to flood Israel and thereby eliminate Israel as a Jewish state. Call upon them to sit down, negotiate in fairness, build peaceful communities instead of building tunnels under mosques to penetrate Israel and kill more civilians. And to call upon their malignant leaders to step down if they refuse.
