Confused by Dinowitz critics

(Re: “Hello, Mr. Dinowitz? We are angry,” Nov. 30)

To the Editor:

Reading the recent letter from Naomi Sharlin and Jordan Moss was a bit confusing as they declare their anger at Assemblyman (Jeffrey) Dinowitz for his staunch support of Israel after the horrific attacks of Oct. 7.

Hamas, a genocidal death cult, committed an act of mass rape, torture and murder so grievous that words fail most of us to describe the fear and anguish that most well-meaning citizens are feeling.

Israel is so far ahead of its Middle Eastern neighbors in providing racial and economic justice to all its citizens that there is other nation in that region even close.

Hamas, on the other hand murdered dozens of foreign nationals, without any compunction. Jews, Christians, fellow Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists all of whom had traveled to Israel to live, work, study, socialize and enjoy the fredoms available in the world’s only Jewish state.

The moral equivalence of comparing self-defense to the perpetual and open calls for genocide from Hamas from so called “Jewish progressives” most certainly does not align with any Jewish values that I know of.

The authors mention rising Islamophobia which is unsupported by any data as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a known front group for Hamas, says its has no data to support this scurrilous lie.

As I write this Hamas supporters in America are carrying out a modern Kristallnacht, vandalizing Jewish businesses in America, disrupting the funeral of a former First Lady, creating havoc at the annual Christmas Tree lighting and murdering innocent Jews in Judea and Samaria while Sharlin and Moss direct their fire at the Assemblyman for speaking the truth.
