Sometimes the opinion columns of Froma Harrop read like pieces in gossip columns, but her latest one on September 12th was a hateful rant against New York Mayor Mamdani. She defended Israel and condemned demonstrations outside synagogues but said nothing about damage inflicted on people in their mosques.
During his 9/11 speech on Friday at the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth repeatedly used the phrase "Islamic terrorists" instead of Al-Qaeda terrorists. He would be upset if people referred to the Trump administration's attacks on Venezuela, boats in the Caribbean, and Iran as the work of "Christian terrorists". True Christians and Muslims do not condone actions that work against peace. Hate speech does nothing to promote peace.
Much was said on the anniversary of 9/11 about the unity and kindness the U.S. experienced on 9/12 and how sad it is that we don't have that anymore. Let's not give space in our media to voices spewing hatred.
