Letter to the editor: Say ‘no’ to taxes for genocide

While we endure a “firehose” of news on calamitous policies, or lack of them from this administration, the horrific treatment of Palestinians continues. Those in Congress who remain silent are complicit!

I am not the least antisemitic, but I am appalled by the actions of the IDF under orders from the Netanyahu government. Denying food, water and medicine to the remaining people of Gaza is beyond inhumane. They are not the ones who perpetrated the terrible loss of life and hostage taking on Oct. 7, 2023, and to subject them to starvation and constant attack is criminal.

I believe that Israel should be able to defend itself, but I highly object to my taxpayer dollars being spent on genocide.
