Letter: They'll deserve it; rest of us won't
Responding to Mr. Hirschi's letter of June 8 ("Merchan didn't let witnesses testify"):
Donald Trump received a fair trial. The judge and the courtroom staff have gone out of their way to extend courtesies to Trump that the average citizen would not receive.
After Trump was convicted, he went immediately to the closest microphone to claim, “If they can do this to me, they can do it to you.” That was an obvious attempt to ensure his base recognized his martyrdom.
He should have said, “If they can do this to you, they can do it to me, because no one is above the law.” Mr. Hirschi’s letter makes several broad accusations, but fails to provide any solid evidence of them.
Donald Trump managed to lie, cheat, steal and con his way into the White House once. He is trying to do it again. Unfortunately, an antiquated Electoral College system gives him an advantage. If Trump is elected again, Mr. Hirschi and his fellow MAGA supporters may not like what they get. They will deserve it. The rest of us will not.

Letter: The only solution left is one state
Great article: “Zionism sparks war of words, ideology,” June 4.
But it detailed Jewish suffering over the centuries much more than suffering of Palestinians since 1917. The other side:
Arthur Balfour (his 1917 Balfour Declaration supported “a national home for the Jewish People” in Palestine) said that the British government didn’t “propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants.”
Ever since, Jewish needs in Palestine have superseded Palestinian needs.
Israel confiscated, then gave Palestinian homes to Jews in 1948, expelling 750,000 people (Nakba).
In 1967, Israel bulldozed the Moroccan quarter (1,000-plus homes) to create a plaza in Jerusalem for the Western Wall.
“What can we do? They take whatever they want,” lamented a Palestinian woman in the 1980s, outside the home Israel had just demolished.
Palestinians Israel displaced from their land in the West Bank/Israel feel the loss of olive trees as loss of family, like Great-Grandma or Great-Great-Grandpa who planted them centuries ago.
Columbia University’s Jewish student statement could just as well read: “We proudly believe in the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination in their historic homeland as a fundamental tenet of their Palestinian identity.”
The Anti-Defamation League’s definition of Zionism could be rewritten— with Palestinian equality in mind— “the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Palestinian people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.”
However, I believe the only solution left is one state with equal rights for all living between “the river and the sea.”

Letter: Hamas wants to kill all Jewish families
June Forsyth Kenagy seems to lack understanding of basic concepts of war (“Universities should respect compassion,” June 4).
When a nation is attacked and its citizens murdered by representatives of another state whose government authorized those barbarous actions, the aggrieved nation will, rightly, consider itself at war with the entirety of the attacking state, not just its government.
This becomes even more necessary when the attackers’ citizenry applauds these nefarious actions and gives succor to perpetrators.
This is the case in Gaza. Prior to Israel’s advance into Rafah, nothing was reported indicating intent to declare it an open city and offering cooperation to root out Hamas. What option for Israel, then, but to unleash the dogs of war?
Total war is nothing new. At the conclusion of hostilities in World War II, two out of seven of all buildings in Germany had been completely destroyed, another two out of seven partially destroyed. Some 30 million Europeans had become refugees, and far more civilians than soldiers had perished. Hamas, and the Gazans supporting it, knew the consequences of their perfidy.
Those Americans chanting, “From the river to the sea” would be well served to form their beliefs based on actual fact and historical knowledge, rather than blindly believing the propaganda being circulated by Hamas’ latter-day Josef Goebbels.
And never forget: If you’re reading this and you happen to be Jewish, Hamas wants to kill you and your entire family. It’s right there in its charter, which the people of Gaza endorse.

Letter: Prioritizing profits at patients’ expense
As a community-based pharmacy resident at Oregon State University, I am committed to serving the underserved and advocating for those in need. Independent pharmacies play a vital role in providing high quality care in Oregon, but those pharmacies and the patients they serve are being put at risk by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).
PBMs serve as the middlemen in the prescription drug industry. They can steer or force patients to use their own affiliated pharmacies and can also determine which drugs they will allow community pharmacies to fill.
PBMs have an effective monopoly in Oregon, where single PBMs represent 70% or more of the market in some areas of the state. They have used this power to pay pharmacies lower rates with outrageous contract conditions. Pharmacies must either accept the rates and conditions or close.
In 2023 alone, Oregon had 36 pharmacy closures.
The largest PBMs are also prioritizing profits at patients’ expense. In 2022, PBMs received $72 billion in rebates and fees from drug manufacturers to lower the cost of drugs. Instead of passing on these lower costs to patients, the large PBMs pocketed the money and collected record profits.
PBMs also have a perverse incentive to offer more expensive drugs and exclude more inexpensive generics or biosimilars as they make more off the higher-priced drugs.
Independent pharmacies and Oregon patients need the federal government to act and I hope that ongoing investigations into PBMs by Congress, the FTC, and CMS lead to necessary change.

Letter: Elect people who have moral compass
What kind of nation are we, that we allow a convicted felon to run for president?
We teach our children to be kind, considerate, honest and responsible. We teach them to apologize when they have done something wrong. We ask our children’s teachers to model good behavior.
Why would we choose for president of the most powerful nation in the world someone who models none of these but one who pretends to be a Christian, lies, demonizes, blames others, cozies up to Putin, admires dictatorships and wants to try being dictator for a day?
Voters who fail to check sources, who accept only what comes from Trump’s mouth and his Truth Social, vote in ignorance, and in so doing endanger our democracy.
We can and we must do better. Reject the lies, crimes, rants and ravings. We must seek to elect people who have a moral compass and use it. Our children are watching. Will we hand them a democracy or a dictatorship?
