MARTIN C FREDERICKS IV—It’s true that a year and two days ago Hamas fighters killed Israelis in an attack. It’s equally true that even at the low end of death estimates, and using the inaccurate figure of 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas on that day, in the past year Israel has visited 35 October 7ths upon the people of Palestine. Factor in estimates of people trapped under the rubble and otherwise missing, and it’s more like 167 October 7ths. Finally, it’s true that Israel has been murdering Palestinians for 76 years now…Meanwhile, much of what we’ve been fed since Oct. 7, 2023 by the governments of Israel and the USA has been untrue.

EDITORS—That US new media are pure propaganda sheets is evidenced by the fact that they routinely call Putin a dictator even though his power comes from free elections, and that they routinely call the Axis of Resistance terrorists even though terrorists and resistors are two entirely different kinds of groups.
After thorough indoctrination for an entire lifetime, it is doubtful that the average news consumer in the west even thinks twice about these deliberate perversions of the truth, accepting them as Gospel.
If we were to be honest with ourselves we would realize that a country that supports Nazis is hardly free of Nazi ideology and a country that supports genocidal murderers is hardly free of the deep-seated will to kill entire ethnic or religious groups.

EDITOR—Dana’s father also recalled that day with a shudder. “I had to try to identify my daughter, searching through torn clothes and severed limbs,” Hassan recalled. “Is this Dana’s? Is this Dana’s foot? I found nothing.” The other doctors informed him however that there was a body in a hospital morgue that might be Dana’s. It was indeed her, as confirmed by her brother, Ali. “My father and brother brought Dana’s body home for farewell, but we still can’t grasp the pain of losing her. Neither I nor my siblings abroad can comprehend it,” Luna said.
