Your Letter *

Dear [recipient first name will go here],

I am writing to express my approval of and support for the recent editorials authored by the Editorial Board of the Los Angeles Times.

Thank you for standing up for the only humane action in the war on Gaza - an immediate ceasefire - in “Cease-fire now. The killing in Gaza must stop” published on November 16, 2023. When so many remain biased and on the side of the oppressor in this genocide, it is imperative to see journalists highlighting the need for an end to the thousands of deaths in Gaza. While I do not agree with all the points put forth in your editorial articles, I am heartened that humanity might remain in the hearts of media leaders like you, the Los Angeles Times.

Your editorial, “Too much heated rhetoric on campus. Bring informed debate back to universities” published on November 17th, 2023, perfectly summarizes the rhetoric I implore the LA Times to adopt going forward. The past 43 days could have been an opportune time to impart relevant learning about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and conflicts arising from the ensuing resistance to Americans. Your loyal readership should not have to turn to Instagram stories posted by children in Gaza to learn these truths.

The Los Angeles Times now has the opportunity to facilitate rational debate and discussion, leading Americans to informed opinion. It is my hope that the Los Angeles Times will increase its reporting, correct your coverage on Israeli casualties, especially as new information has come to light, provide a more balanced perspective, and call out the atrocities being carried out by Israel on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

No doubt it is challenging to report on politically sensitive issues, but I implore you to deliver reliable news at a time when impartial journalism is more important than ever.

Sincerely,
[your name will go here]
