We get letters: how many different ways can I say it?
What do you think, folks? My personal preference is “go fuck yourself,” but I’m open to suggestions. You can send them to him directly, too, at davide@readthemaple.com. Let me know what you think!
Davide
You got the 2055 dead Palestinian children figure from where? The Hamas Health authority?
If Davide believes Hamas, does he believe Hamas when they say they want to kill all the Jews?
Short and clear answers to rhetorical questions are invariably the best. I go with your suggested wording.
Reply by sending him a copy of the Hamas charter, plus various choice statements by Hamas leaders, with the “we want to kill all the Jews” parts in bolded type.
I think Mr. Mastracci should avail himself to the new videos released by the IDF showing the heinous acts of terror that Hamas released on an unsuspecting, and innocent Israeli population.
Then he should go fuck himself.
A cursory review of their site indicates the organization has a hard left narrative so whatever the story they’re doing, you already know the slant it will take. It would be unlikely any argument that places any degree of the blame on Hamas will not result in angry spamming back. You could make your point but I doubt it would do much more than get a bunch of angry responses. What’s that saying about playing chess with pigeons?
Hard no. Pointless.
Personal I would not want to see him enjoy the minimal gratification from fucking one’s self. But I do like the sentiment.
Warren,
He makes reference to 2,055 Palestinian children as having been killed. If he’s an actual journalist, where is his precise count of how many Israeli and other Jewish children Hamas have killed? It’s not exactly unbiased or objective journalism. The death of all children is a tragedy. Not just those of the ones we like.
Does he include the Palestinian children killed by Hamas?
Civilized people understand that Israel was attacked
and has international support to defend itself proactively. Proactively includes rooting out those responsible for the initial attack televised worldwide.
Nobody supports harm of civilians. Hamas created
their own demise by the criminal actions evidenced
by all. Israel is tasked with collecting up all those involved in crimes against humanity and Hamas is the
root cause in need of sanction here.
If the editor of The Maple understood the concept
of sovereignty he’d know why Israel is defending itself
as a sovereign nation. Hamas seems to have difficulty
understanding the concept of sovereignty, too.
Why not ask Hamas why they bombed Israel and slaughtered residents of Israel, and then took human shields to hide behind like cowards too irresponsible to face their neighbours after they murdered their citizens
in cold blood?
Warren is right. The editor should be told to fuck off
for his cheesy rhetoric. Why debate a moot point with
the village idiot unless one is bored?
Dear Davide,
Modern democracy, equipped with free speech, requires many sacrifices. The existence of your website is amongst the smallest and least significant of those sacrifices.
Dear Davide
You do realize that YOU are a settler colonizer.
Please take remedial steps.
The war could be over in 5 minutes. All Hamas has to do is:
A – Release all hostages unharmed
B- Surrender en masse
C – Agree to cease all hostilities
C – Agree to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist and agree to democratic election in Gaza overseen by an independent group of international monitors.
It is not complicated.
As for “Davide”, I would not dignify his asinine message with a response. He has already indicated what type of person he is.
Do you realize that the senior leaders of Hamas don’t live in Gaza? Under PM Netanyahu, it’s unlikely there will be peace b3cause there are extremists in his government, too.
Your initial response is all that needs to be said.
Excuse my typo – Should read “D – Agree to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist and agree to a democratic election in Gaza overseen by an independent group of international monitors.”
