Letter: Let’s stop the hatred
Good for the town of Vail for canceling the residency of artist Danielle SeeWalker. Calling the war in Gaza a genocide is false and defamatory. Our defense department says there is no evidence of genocide.

Hamas says it wants to kill all Jews. Its members execute people for being gay, they have outlawed abortions and other women’s rights. We don’t need to help them by falsely claiming they’re subject to genocide.
