Thank you to the Valley News for its clarifying editorial (“Legislators’ fact-finding mission to Israel raises ethical concerns”; Oct. 4). I have often wondered where I should get my information about Israel. The propaganda arm of a terrorist army whose charter calls for the elimination of all Jews in the Middle East is telling me that Israel has committed every known moral crime; should I believe them? Is it ethical to glean facts directly from Israelis about who they really are and how they really live?

Now I know the answer. As the Valley News has done for two years, I should accept without question the facts put forward by genocidal jihadists. After all, no one in history has ever made up lies about the Jews. One last question for the VN editors: Where can I get a copy of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?”
