Hawaii health care professionals signed a petition that seemed more written by Hamas than them and was published with no fact-checking for egregious lies (“Hawaii health workers call for permanent ceasefire in Gaza,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Dec. 7). Disappointing.
Calling for a ceasefire by Israel even though there was one in place on Oct. 7 ignores reality. Citing events as facts that have already been disproved shows no attempt at truth.
Recall that Hamas has said in writing and on national media that Oct. 7 will be repeated with the objective to remove Israel and eventually kill all Jews worldwide. Palestinians cheered 9/11, terrorist attacks in Europe, and Oct 7.
Who shall Israel have a ceasefire with — and to what end? Who will oversee this ceasefire? Name one country at war, now or in the past, that provided food, water and fuel to the enemy who attacked? Russia and Ukraine, China and Tibet, Turkey and Armenia, etc.
