LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Israel defending itself

Your report, "Israeli-Palestinian violence escalates, approaches 2014 Gaza Strip war levels," (Web, Oct. 14) errs. It states that current "violence capped a two-week period in which Palestinians ... carried out roughly two dozen" stabbings against Jews and that "a spate of violence broke out over access to the Temple Mount in East Jerusalem's Old City."

EDITORIAL: Europe struggles with migrants who don’t want to integrate

Germany has a troubled history of ethnic relations, to put it mildly, and Angela Merkel first rejected taking in refugees from the Syrian civil war which has taken more than a quarter of a million lives. Then, no doubt considering how that looked, she put out the welcome map. Soon she was celebrated as "Mama Merkel" in the refugee camps.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is engaging with the world community. He said he wants to be remembered as the man who restored his country's greatness. (Associated Press)

EDITORIAL: Valdimir Putin may end Syrian refugee crisis

Nobody, not even his missus, will mistake Vladimir Putin for a humanitarian. He doesn't want the not-so-huddled masses from Syria, and his deployment of the Russian army to Damascus is hardly out of concern for the human suffering from a brutal four-year civil war.

EDITORIAL: Free Jason Rezaian

Justice in Iran is a contact sport. The regime's Revolutionary Court in Tehran has convicted Jason Rezaian, a correspondent for The Washington Post, of espionage. The Islamic republic long ago abandoned any pretense of judicial or diplomatic norms, and is keeping an innocent newspaperman behind bars as a bargaining chip in its shady power game with the West.

EDITORIAL: Making up with Israel

Some people think Barack Obama just doesn't like the Israelis. Others say, no, it's just the native pettiness of his administration. Whatever, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel are under siege on several fronts, and they're getting no love from Washington.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: No Syrian ‘refugees’ here

What good are the Army, Air Force and other military units in Germany? These units' presence there is a horrible waste of Euros to support a powerful military force that includes nuclear missiles when Germany has been invaded by the enemy without firing a single shot.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hamas spokesman unreliable source

It is rare to read an article in The Washington Times that fails to inform and that is balanced and fair. The Oct. 12 Associated Press article "Israeli strike kills mother, child in Gaza" by Aron Heller and Fares Akram is something one would expect to read in the newspaper across town, but not in the Times.

EDITORIAL: Another EPA spill in Colorado

The Environmental Protection Agency is a hazard to living things, including women, children and little fishes. The agency commissioned to protect Americans from environmental disaster is an environmental disaster itself in Colorado again.

Democrats and Republicans alike accused Hillary Rodham Clinton of a political flip-flop of historic proportions, but she said the evidence is that the deal President Obama finalized falls short of her goals. (Associated Press)

EDITORIAL: Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi sleight of hand

Sometimes the only defense is a good offense, with Hail Mary passes thrown on every down. Hillary Clinton readies for her showdown with the Benghazi congressional committee with a Hail Mary offensive to delegitimize that crucial investigation.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Mass killings correlate with decline of religion in society

A key statement in R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.'s "Culture of death" (Web, Oct. 6) is that the "current phenomenon of mass killings began in the middle-1960s ... " Wasn't it in 1963 that the atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hare (in Murray v. Curlett) succeeded in getting the U.S. Supreme Court to ban religion in American public schools? And does not the increase in random mass murders not correlate with the increasingly anti-religious nature of our society?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Immigration assimilation policies contribute to American exceptionalism

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American. ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

EDITORIAL: Republicans’ broken promises, weak leadership ignite voter frustration

Donald Trump continues to be the leader of the pack, and the reason why is no mystery to anyone who has been listening to the land. Americans are frustrated, angry and many feel desperation over stagnant wages, cultural assaults on their values, declining American influence in a world ever more dangerous, and they're fed up with politicians who make promises they never intend to keep. They've heard some big talk in towns big and small, and now they're left singing the blues in the night. These feelings are reflected in the turmoil over finding a leader of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
