Dear Editor:
I commend your publication of Dave Grunland's cartoon of September 1, 2025. Sadly, he quite accurately depicts the end goal of the slaughter in Gaza. The Israeli military, pictured as a behemoth tank, proudly flying the Israeli flag, finishes pushing the people of Gaza off a cliff, obliterating them. As an American Jew, I am outraged that this flag, which is being used to commit these atrocities, carries the symbol of my religion.
We in the US are watching as our tax dollars are used to starve a captive population. The weapons we purchase for Israel are being used to slaughter civilians, including women, children, and infants. Those who survive are left maimed for life.
A resolution was passed yesterday, by International Association of Genocide Scholars defining the ongoing slaughter in Gaza a genocide. They join other groups, such as Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International the Israeli rights group B’Tselem, and United Nations experts who have also stated Israel is committing genocide. When will the US stop this atrocity being committed in our name?
