Here's my LTE to NYT:



Encouraged by the world’s failure to stop its genocidal rampage in Gaza, Israel is now spreading the carnage to the West Bank with overnight raids and aerial bombardment. They are “allowing” Palestinians to “safely leave the area.” We can see where this is going. Who can doubt at this point that the goal is the elimination of the Palestinian population, by death or forced emigration? Israel is counting on the US to keep up the support in the form of armaments, rhetoric, and billions of dollars-- a reasonable assumption based on the US’s stance so far. Those who can witness these horrors without opposing them have abandoned their humanity.
