Perspectives on Middle East peace

In response to Robert Solomon’s April 21 letter to the editor regarding a two-state solution in Israel:

Mr. Solomon follows the J Street party line, a misguided ultra-left-wing position that advocates peace at any price. He neglects to mention that the Arab world seeks the destruction of Israel and that previous Israeli withdrawals have resulted in terrorist bases in southern Lebanon and Gaza.

Mr. Solomon naively expresses optimism that negotiations re withdrawal would be marked by “good faith and compromise” and avoids mention of the Palestinian insistence on the refugee right of return or the welcoming of ISIS to the newly formed state. If there is a fully blown Palestinian state it would have the absolute right to its own military and political alliances.

Mr. Solomon is the one who is delusional, sitting in comfort in Henderson while willing to endanger his fellow Jew in Haifa.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
