October 16, 2023 Burt Janz

Let’s think about the attacks in Israel for a moment. If we look around, we see that it isn’t just Israel that’s being attacked. Have we forgotten about “no-go zones” in France, Germany, England, and other European cities? Or the surge in Muslim attacks in Algeria, Mali, Tunisia, et al?

Last March during a “Candidates Night” forum in my small New Hampshire town, I was criticized by an incumbent library trustee who was running for reelection.
