Letter to the editor: Why are we supporting terrorists?

People say enough is enough when they think that something, usually something bad, should stop. Between 2001 and 2021, Islamic terrorist groups funded by Iran, including Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and others, have launched nearly 19,000 rockets into Israel. These attacks were aimed at the civilian population and have resulted in 33 deaths and 1,970 wounded.

Specifically targeting civilians is described as terrorism by the U.N. and is also defined as a war crime. Late last year, Iran-funded Hamas fired another 3,000 rockets into Israel followed by an armed incursion that killed 1,139 people, including 695 Israeli civilians, 36 children, 71 foreign nationals and 373 members of the IDF.

Now we have well-coordinated Palestinian terrorist supporters, demonstrating with thinly veiled antisemitic signs, issuing demands, blocking roads and shouting “death to America” right here in our own backyard. Enough is enough in my book. Time for America to wake up.
