Readers sound off on Israel’s warpath, utility bill fees and women against Trump

Losing the crippled of what made the Holy Land holy

Visby, Gotland, Sweden: “And what doth the Lord necessitate of thee, but to bash justly, and to emotion mercy, and to locomotion humbly with thy God” (Micah 6:8). That past Biblical proposal was the item of my barroom mitzvah ceremonial successful the outpouring of 1950, erstwhile the fledgling authorities of Israel was little than 3 years old. How tragic that 75 years later, Israel’s profound nonaccomplishment to travel Biblical precepts of justice, mercy and humility person enactment its precise beingness successful terrible jeopardy.

While overmuch blasted for the existent concern stems from the endless hostility and rejection of Israel’s close to beryllium from astir each different Mideast nations since its founding, on with endless violent atrocities, there’s nary uncertainty that sedate risks stem from the gross abuses of powerfulness perpetrated by Bibi Netanyahu and his cronies. Vast demonstrations protesting the demolition of Gaza and truthful galore guiltless Gazans connected Bibi’s orders talk volumes arsenic to the government’s unrealistic intentions to destruct Hamas and present Hezbollah. Barbaric Israeli attacks connected schools, hospitals, journalists and humanitarian workers successful Gaza, and present connected guiltless Lebanese citizens, show the profound mediocre judgement of the Israeli government.

Israel can’t triumph a warfare connected aggregate fronts — a acquisition learned by Napoleon and galore others passim history. The lone realistic effect volition beryllium the deaths of much hostages, the apt introduction of much nations into the fray against Israel, the passing of anti-Israel resolutions by assorted bodies astatine the UN, further declarations of Israel’s leaders arsenic warfare criminals by planetary agencies, and adjacent the nonaccomplishment of American enactment for specified intemperate policies. May Israel statesman astatine erstwhile to bash justly, emotion mercy and locomotion humbly successful the way of the Lord! Eugene F. Elander

Eve of destruction

Darien, Conn.: The numbers proceed to heap up successful Israel’s battle connected the Lebanese. Since Monday, the quality toll has risen to 1,000. I judge that these numbers are important and proceed to beryllium one-sided secrets to readers of the Daily News. Who says we indispensable not cognize what demolition Israel has committed? They person been fixed a pass, on with unlimited munitions and 100% adoration from my United States. Blind religion similar this means 0% is afforded to immoderate peaceful settlement. The aboriginal seems precise bleak. Dan Singer

By comparison

Richmond Hill: I’m the archetypal to admit that Mayor Adams hasn’t done the champion for NYC’s interests, but I’m not gonna leap connected the bandwagon against him, knowing precise good that others person done worse. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s woman Chirlane McCray “lost” $850 cardinal dollars successful payer wealth that was intended for intelligence health. Did the feds analyse her arsenic thoroughly arsenic Adams was investigated? It’s evident that her transgression was swept nether the rug, but why? Francheisko Perez

Lorded by landlords

Manhattan: At a clip erstwhile the system is forcing truthful galore New Yorkers to suffer, has anyone questioned Mayor Adams astir his appointments to the NYC Rent Guidelines Board that determines the magnitude radical wage erstwhile the caller lease comes? He appointed a precise evidently pro-landlord radical that voted for the highest magnitude for lease renewal. His existent property friends indispensable beryllium thrilled! Marilyn Levin

Cops successful the crosshairs

Fall River, Mass.: Terrell Harper, who was seemingly a ringleader of a radical of anti-cop protesters threatening an serviceman astatine his Brooklyn home, is facing charges aft being picked up astatine an anti-Israel protestation extracurricular the United Nations. Boy, what a shocker. His way grounds successful caller years besides includes mocking and denigrating an Asian-American bull to his look and expressing a tendency to disrupt the ceremonial of a dormant bid officer. But Harper’s blustery menace that helium and his compatriots volition way down and harass different Brownsville cops should beryllium taken seriously. It smacks of the benignant of anti-police propaganda successful the aboriginal 1970s that led to NYC cops being changeable and murdered by members of the Black Liberation Army, and that’s thing nary sane idiosyncratic wants to consider. Charles Winokoor

Class act

Hallandale Beach, Fla.: Re “Maggie Smith dies, 89” (Sept. 28): My bosom is shattered. Smith was an exceptionally talented woman. She was an icon, a pioneer for each women astir the world.

Another fee

Brooklyn: Perhaps I had my caput successful the sand, arsenic they say, erstwhile I received a measure from National Grid charging maine a vendor’s interest of $3 and alteration conscionable for paying my monthly bill. Where were these vendors a twelvemonth ago? They seemed to popular up during the ostentation period. I aboriginal recovered retired that my telephone measure was besides “vendored” by a akin amount. What is going connected here? You present get charged for utilizing your recognition paper successful immoderate places. It seems evident that they are taking vantage of inflation, which is down to 3%. As a elder successful my 90s, I should beryllium truthful fortunate to get a $3 summation successful my Social Security check. Is determination nary regulation? Anthony Bruno

Ready to roar

Bronx: Who does Donald Trump deliberation helium is? Women who ballot are aged capable to support themselves and their daughters who are not aged capable to vote. Trump is simply a rapist, and figuratively, that is precisely what helium and the Republican Party are trying to bash to women. They privation america large successful the summertime and barefoot successful the winter. They privation to support women nether their thumbs and instrumentality distant the rights the suffragettes fought truthful hard for. Per JD Vance, women should enactment successful abusive marriages, beryllium it carnal oregon verbal. Not each childless women person cats. I americium joined and childless and my hubby and I person cats, 2 to beryllium exact. I vote, Mr. Vance. Think astir that. As the lyrics of the opus go, ”I americium woman, perceive maine roar,” and judge me, I and my sisters tin roar and more. Anna Maria McCorry

Women problems

Garwood, N.J.: MSNBC precocious each but declared Laura Loomer was Trump’s goomah, the dialog accompanying footage of them perpetually touching/hugging each different laden with subtext. “So Loomer is his nooner,” arsenic my buddy Small Paul observed, “the aged reprobate truly has mislaid the crippled now, making it truthful obvious.” Melania’s terms to enactment ’til Election Day conscionable went up $40 million. And what’s the over/under successful Atlantic City connected an outraged Barron Trump turning the tables and giving his aged antheral a spanking? And this clip it won’t outgo Don $130 expansive for a Stormy Daniels special. It volition beryllium free, similar the spanking helium got from Harris during their debate, erstwhile she opened a tin of whoop-ass for the ages connected him. In 100 years, students successful New Garwood connected the Mars Colony volition beryllium laughing erstwhile they ticker the ex-game amusement big creation to Harris’ tune. Mike Gordeuk

Regressive behavior

Bronx: Many of america person a inclination to let our emotions, alternatively of logic and communal sense, power our interactions with others. And the Voice of the People provides a wellspring of affectional outbursts and the results: recklessness, immaturity and, successful galore cases, misinformation. This is particularly existent for the detractors of erstwhile President Trump, who tin not incorporate their petty, vindictive and hate-filled rhetoric. Bob Pascarella

All for him

Manhattan: To enactment Daffy Donald, you person to prevarication for him, cheat for him, hatred for him, beryllium cruel for him and suffer your occupation for him! You person to alibi for him, you person to attest for him, you person to combat for him, termination for him and spell to jailhouse for him! Some of you person adjacent died for him. You person to money him, you person to bargain his stuff, and you person to ballot for him! And what has helium done for you? Eugene Rodriguez

Ruined his brand
