Letter to LA Times from Richard Sherman, Florida pointing out that self defense is self defense and Israel has the right to self defense, May 22, 2026

Dear Letter to the Editor:

After the surprise attack on Israel on 10/7 in which 6000 Muslim sociopaths butchered 1200 Jewish men, women, children, infants and Holocaust survivors, the Jewish people of Israel acted in self defense -- just as the United States did after the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

To use the phrase " retaliatory offensive" is jew hating balderdash in the tradition of Joseph Goebbels which denies the Jewish people the right of self defense which jew haters from Mohammad to Hitler have done for over one thousand years.
