Letters: In Parkland’s Aftermath
Donald Trump's response is criticized, as is the AJT's focus on the five Jewish victims.
Political Cowardice
An undocumented immigrant murders a citizen, and what do Donald Trump and his fellow travelers offer us? A multibillion-dollar wall and xenophobia.
Gun-toting Americans butcher our neighbors, and what do Donald Trump and his fellow travelers offer us? Their “thoughts and prayers.”
The threat of nuclear-weaponized North Korea and Iran doesn’t scare me half as much as the political cowardice and mumbo-jumbo of those sworn to safeguard our domestic tranquility. This is old news. I wish it were fake.

Grieve for All 17
I am appalled to see this week’s headline on the AJT e-newsletter, “5 of the 17 Were Jewish.” Are the other 12 any less important? Are the parents of the other 12 not grieving? Were the other 12 not smart, scholarly, kind and loving?
I understand this is a Jewish newspaper, but as such, aren’t we commanded to recognize all people as equal?
My tears are for all 17, as yours should be as well.
— Jacqueline Granath, Dunwoody
