This Jew has no pity when it comes to the residents of Gaza (“Over 70% of Palestinians say Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israelis was right decision: Poll,” web, March 22). These people continue to support the barbaric and savage attack of innocent Israeli civilians, including the burning and decapitation of babies, the burning alive of the elderly, and the rape of women in front of their parents. I shed no tears for people who don’t deserve my pity.

Furthermore, I am disgusted by and appalled that the protesters in my country who are pro-Hamas are advocating the killing of Jews.  There is something wrong with a society that permits such conduct because of free speech.
