There were some threads on this when the firings took place.

The gaping hole in this story is no reply from the knucklehead who WROTE the tripe.

In the words of John Lennon, "Give peace a chance."

Had he been armed, he might still be able to say that.

Although I read about the editorial and the firings, I never read the editorial. I thought it might be a "Blame America First" type of reaction that got some young scribes in trouble.

Having just read it, I came to the conclusion it was worse:

It was an anti-Israel Hate America First screed.

They deseved the door - glad they got it.

So rare nowadays.

'but not endearing themselves in the hearts of the Arabs who inhabited that part of the world'

Historically incorrect, there were no 'Arabs' in the world at that time. There were no muslims until the 700's AD, about 5000 years after the Jews earliest works. If anything, she's talking about the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Chaldeans, the Sumerians, the Romans and Greeks, and so many more cultures which existed until islam destroyed them with fire and sword.

This is a High-School level "Editorial", to be very generous. If these morons can't write (or think) any better than this, they should find another line of work.

Perhaps something in the food-service industry...

Maybe the people of Oneida should rethink their position on becoming a sex commune again. It would keep them out of trouble.

OTOH, then they would have to put up with Bill. ADL or Clinton? ADL or Herpes? Nah, forget that I even suggested it.
