McLaughlin Offers Thoughts On Middle East
22 Jan 2009 - ( Editorial )

To the editor:
I’ve noticed with interest some recent letters to the editor regarding Israel’s “aggression / terrorism” in Gaza. I’d like to offer a different perspective.
While everyone has the right to interpret news reports of events happening around the world in their own way, I’m a little surprised when I understand that some people do not view Israel’s incursion into Gaza as a “response” to Hamas’ aggression (the launching of thousands of rockets aimed at Israeli civilian targets over the last number of years).

The win improves the Lady Squires’ record to 7-6 and 2-3 in the Three Rivers Conference. ....Read More
