LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Writer Distressed Old Lyme Church Flies Israeli Flag, Asks What Others Think

August 15, 2025 by Betsy Groth

To the Editor:

I am deeply offended by Shoreline Church on Shore Rd. in Old Lyme flying a huge Israeli flag. 

Netanyahu and his government are committing genocide and other war crimes, including starvation in Palestine—even some Israeli citizens are calling it genocide.

At least 85% of Palestinians are Muslim.

At least one of the church’s neighbor convenience stores is owned by a Muslim.

I find this flag-flying unacceptable and wonder what others think?

Sincerely,

Betsy Groth,
Old Lyme.
