High praise to President Trump for getting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Arab countries on board with his peace plan (“Final ‘peace’ on the board,” Sept. 30).
Now comes the hard part: Getting Hamas to agree.
At the very least, the plan clearly defines only two options left for the terrorists: Either sign off on it, or face total destruction with Trump’s approval to let Israel finish the job.
It would be a stretch to believe a quick decision will be forthcoming, and maybe a bigger stretch to believe they will agree.
In any case, the ball is squarely in Hamas’ court.

Suddenly, the whole world seems to be relying on a plan by Trump for peace in Gaza, which Netanyahu agrees with.
But how can we trust this Israeli tyrant to cooperate, agree to withdraw from Gaza and allow Palestinians to continue living under their own governance, when he shouts that he will not tolerate a Palestinian state?

Michael Goodwin’s logical evaluation of Trump’s peace plan enumerates all the failures of the Arab plan, which in reality is a means to weaken and destroy Israel (“Can’t force Israel to destroy itself,” Sept. 28).
Trump, a true friend to Israel and Jews, really wants peace in the Middle East and the world.
Unfortunately, even Trump is being deceived.
He criticizes “failed nation-building” efforts in the Middle East by the West.
Yet the president is repeating this same “nation building” mistake in Gaza.
Since the Arabs will never accept Israel, Trump’s first proposal — to expel all the terrorists in Gaza — was correct.
If Israel accepts the new proposal, it will only bring self-destruction to Israel, despite having won multiple wars.

It was insightful of Trump to take inspiration from Tony Blair’s 21-point solution.
Trump’s vision for Middle East peace has been steadfast.
I believe that is why many neighboring states are supportive and willing to participate.
We can only hope that an eventual outcome also includes having Saudi Arabia and Iran as members of the Abraham Accord.

The mushrooming acts of violence in this nation seem to be connected to an onslaught of violent rhetoric (“Gunman’s church hellfire,” Sept. 29).
The motive for the latest insanity at a Mormon church is still unclear.
But when Democrats keep putting poison on social media, festering violent thoughts can whip up into action.
As soon as President Trump heard about what happened on Sunday during that church service, he was quick to post on social media: “This epidemic of violence in our country must end, immediately!”
Meanwhile, Democrats are seemingly still waiting for further instructions on how to spin it all.
This epidemic won’t be addressed until Democrats realize they have helped feed the violence.
This should not be viewed as a partisan issue.

Across our great nation, many churches have been attacked, and some people have died by guns.
Now, one of the parishes I belong to has installed cameras to protect the church and its members.
I applaud these actions, but it’s sad that it has come to this.
My heartfelt prayers go out to the loved ones, friends and neighbors in Michigan who were affected by the horrible actions of an evil-doer.
