Regarding the letter, “Protesters should target brutal Hamas, not Israel” (Star-Advertiser, Jan. 30): Wild. It said “a boisterous group” was “disturbing the peace,” “disrupting the flow of traffic” and “shouting antisemitic slogans.”
Calling for a ceasefire to genocidal bombing? That’s not antisemitic. Disturbing the peace — with a banner saying “end the occupation”? Wild.
It further lamented: If only “civilized … countries” had “reined in” Hamas quicker. Hamas — the largest of multiple Palestinian resistance factions defending their very existence in Gaza? Wild.
That tired Zionist opinion rings off-key. Hawaii, her people and residents, affirm the call of the Palestinian people — a call for a complete ceasefire, liberation from occupation, return and independence.
