To the editor: Mustafa Barghouti, a West Financial institution doctor and politician, at first does sound reasonable in his interview. He talks about Palestinian rights and the Israeli apartheid system. (“A Palestinian leader sees new energy in U.S. — particularly among young Americans — to confront Mideast crisis,” Aug. 6)
However in response to the final query, he’s unable to present a full-throated condemnation of Hamas and its Oct. 7 assault on Israel: “It was a tragedy that so many Israelis have been killed [on Oct. 7], however the true tragedy is that they have Netanyahu as their chief.”
Actually? He can not condemn Hamas, a terrorist group? It is a reasonable? No marvel the Palestinians haven’t any efficient management.
