What you Khan and Khan not say

I must protest at the terminology used by Mahmood Khan, who in “A way to get out of the mire in the Holy Land” (June 18) has the temerity to say that Gaza is like a “concentration camp.”

How dare he!

The Jews were forcibly removed from their homes and when they weren’t being gassed and shot or whipped and beaten to death, they were being starved and used as slave labor.

This isn’t even remotely like what is happening in Gaza and any misery over there is being caused by Hamas.

How can The Jerusalem Post in Israel agree to print something that trivializes the horror of the concentration camps? Comparing the murder of innocent Jews to what is going on in Gaza is unforgivable!

I am somewhat confused as to why Mahmood Khan’s op-ed was accepted for publication.

Is it supposed to enlighten us of a brand-new option facing Israel in dealing with the Arabs living in Judea and Samaria and Gaza? The piece does nothing but provide lies. Gaza is a concentration camp and Israel demolishes buildings and kills innocent people?

The writer author should realize that most Israelis don’t believe in (and have good reason not to trust) the so-called Palestinians. The article serves only to add more fuel to fire – not solve anything.

I realize that the Post likes to offer opinions from all sides of the political spectrum, but publishing lies and hatred to toward Israel cannot be worthy of the time your readers spend reading their morning paper.

It is unfortunate that our own Jerusalem Post seems to have adopted the narrative of The New York Times. When rockets poured down on our children, the Times pictured children on the front page, claiming we were killing Palestinian children without provocation.

Now the front page of the June 18 Jerusalem Post has picture of a Palestinian struggling with policemen with the caption claiming he is fighting for justice! He may be fighting for his justice, but the policemen are saving my life.

Worse, the picture’s caption brings up a story from May 2020 about a policeman who killed a resident, with the only connection being of course that we as citizens and policemen are violently killing innocent “protesters.”

We cannot control the lies and antisemitism of the outside world. It would be nice, however, for our own paper to 1) be clear that Israel has been voted by the world to be the state for the Jewish people and 2) not promote this false narrative that we don’t have the right to be here and the other side is “fighting for justice” on the front page.
