WASHINGTON (AP) — Acknowledging his push to broker peace in the Middle East has stalled, President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to threaten to cut off U.S. aid money to the Palestinian Authority, asking why the U.S. should make “any of these massive future payments” when the Palestinians are “no longer willing to talk peace.” […]

J. Goodman: Headline was truthful, accurate
In her letter (Jan. 3) complaining about a headline stating that a Palestinian injured an Israeli boy by stoning, Kathleen Kienitz appears to agree that the headline was indeed correct. Palestinians did injure an Israeli. Her letter fails to mention that the stones aimed at Israeli civilians and soldiers are more often the size of […]

L. Bechtel: Annihilation of Palestinians
Amen, amen, amen is all I can say about the letter by Ronald Gallant (Aug. 2) condemning the Israeli annihilation of Palestinians.

In rebuttal, K. Kienitz: Deal in a humane manner
Media in the U.S. have consistently shortchanged the Palestinians when it comes to covering its conflict with Israel. The Sun Journal follows in lock step, first with an inane piece from Cal Thomas (July 16) and then with Charles Krauthammer (July 20). Unless one believes that invading Iraq was a smashing success, anything written by […]

Cal Thomas: No more aid to the Palestinian Authority
The anti-Semitic “tradition” of blaming Jews for the world’s problems mostly took a temporary back seat in light of the indiscriminate rocket attacks on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas. Major newspaper editorials condemned Hamas, but their condemnation was hedged by calls for “restraint” on “both sides” and “proportionality” in Israel’s response to the attacks. […]
