Obama needs to act on attacks on Israel

Anonymous Newburyport Daily News The Daily News of Newburyport Mon Nov 26, 2012, 02:00 AM EST

To the editor:

Amid the cleaning and packing, I have little time to write. As I’m moving, I celebrated my 63rd birthday on Nov. 14 and on Dec. 14, I will be moving to a new place (new to me). I feel privileged because the “new place” belonged to a friend.

In between packing, I watch the news sometimes and I see terror groups shooting rockets into Israel. Couldn’t Obama have some clout to, if not stop this, at least decrease the number of attacks? Ignoring this is unacceptable!

Extent of violence is horrifying

Having passed the ripe, old, possibly over-ripened age of 80, I find the world I live in seeming increasingly incomprehensible. The problem is violence. Not so much its existence! An even cursory perusal of the history of our world or our country mak

A need for balance in our delegation

To the editor: I am writing in response to the June 4 "As I See It" column by Tom McCarty entitled "Thinking of not voting?" After his reference to the "nice lady" in the first sentence, every one of Mr. McCarty's opinions are completely negative. Th
