Letters
By Letter to the Editor

This letter is a rebuttal to a “letter to editor” dated 24 April 2024 from Warner.

As far as Israel’s prime minister being a “war criminal.” It was Hamas backed by the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran that attacked Israel on 7 Oct. 2023. Now, Palestinians are protesting at America’s universities, chanting, “from the river to the sea.” They want to destroy Israel and kill as many Israelis as possible! Are Israeli war criminals because they want to defend themselves from an evil that wants to completely wipe them off the face of the Earth?

“Donald J. (for James II) Trump.” I guess the “Trump derangement syndrome” does really exist.

Ukraine cannot win the war with Russia no matter how much money we give them. Where’s the money going, anyway? I’m sure Biden would tell you, NOT!

As far as Oklahoma being a “backwater state.” I wish these so called “few smart people” would move to New York City or Washington D.C. where their Communist China ideas are more acceptable. They don’t have to remain here with these “hicks in the sticks” if it troubles them so.

It’s recorded that Mao of China was responsible for the deaths of 40-80 million of his own people.

“Truth in labeling?” I guess Vladimir Lenin said it best, “useful idiots” are of value in our quest to take over freedom loving people.”
