How to end Hamas
Benjamin Netanyahu and his rabid Zionist butchers are waging full on genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. He has cut off all food, water, shelter, medical supplies, all the basics of bare survival, and destroyed all Gaza’s medical facilities in the process of reducing the country to a wretched wasteland from some sci-fi movie.
Meanwhile he continues to drop 2,000-pound bombs on innocent civilians, courtesy of genocidal, war-crimes criminal, forked-tongued Joe Biden, autographed by white supremacist scum like Nikki Haley. Biden could stop the carnage in an instant by stopping the flow of bombs to “Netanyahoo,” but this hypocritical military industrial complex stooge prefers genocide.
In the weeks preceding the attacks of Oct. 7, Israeli military sentries saw activity on the border indicating an attack was imminent. The sentries, mostly female, alerted their superiors, who were mostly male, but their warnings went unheeded. Not only was security along the border not increased, the military presence along the border was actually decreased.
Netanyahoo and his butchers continue to call their genocide in Gaza “justifiable to destroy Hamas,” which is horsepuckey. Their ultimate goal is Palestine without Palestinians.
Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said recently, “Hamas cannot be destroyed. It is an ideology and those who think it can be destroyed are wrong. But it can be replaced with something new.”
Obviously. It can be replaced with statehood and freedom from 75-plus years of Israeli genocide and oppression of the Palestinians. Then there will be no more Hamas.

Redefining hypocrisy
Over the years, I have come to respect Shirley Ringo, though I doubt we could agree on very many political issues.
In her June 19 column on the Tribune’s Opinion page, she professes a freedom to practice religion but not impose beliefs. Then she very succinctly states, “We must have action from Congress guaranteeing abortion rights.” If this is not a very egregious act of hypocrisy, then the dictionary will have to redefine hypocrisy.
There is nothing in our U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence or other documents created by our Founding Fathers granting abortion rights to anyone.
Ringo would have liked to impose her beliefs upon the U.S. Supreme Court. She calls the overturning of Roe v. Wade “unimaginable.” She calls the court’s failure to impose her beliefs on abortion rights as “devastating.” There was much concern in 1973 when the Supreme Court made its decision in Roe v. Wade as to where the right to abortion came from.
While not perfect, each state will now have to deal with the abortion issue.
