To the Editor:

The cruel killing of Cecil and other animals in Africa deserve the publicity and outrage they have generated. 

But why was there little attention in the media when Israelis burned to death the Palestinian toddler Ali Sadd Dawabsheh  (July 31), critically burned his parents and his 4-year-old brother and destroyed the family’s home?

A few days earlier, Israeli forces had killed three other Palestinians during raids on their homes between 2 and 6 a.m.    The mainstream media didn’t report these atrocities either.

Could the media blackout of these crimes have something to do with fear of AIPAC and other branches of the Zionist lobby in the U.S.?

    I commend Rod Driver of Wakefield for his public comments critical of the war crimes of Zionist Israel. Way back in 1975 the United Nations declared that Zionism was a form of racism. But the Israeli lobby-so influential and pernicious in the U.S. news media- reversed that: here it seems anti-Zionism is a form of racism.

    Presently the Israeli lobby sponsors round the clock ads on radio and TV opposed to Obama's Iran treaty.But the vast majority of working class Catholics and Christians and Muslims in America have far more sympathy for the poor oppressed Palestinians than for rich Israel zealots in Israel or in the United States. And if Zionist Israel can have a nuclear arsenal , why not equally fanatical Iran ? SUPPORT OBAMA'S IRAN TREATY !
