The Blame Israel First crowd strikes again.
Hamas unleashed an unprovoked, surprise attack on the Jewish State on Saturday morning, October 7, during Shabbat and the Simchat Torah holiday. The Gaza Strip-based terrorist group’s Pearl Harbor-style onslaught included 2,200 rockets that blasted communities as far north as Tel Aviv. Regardless, Israel’s critics and enemies point their fingers at the Israelis, as if they had bombed themselves.
Hamas makes the PLO look like moderates. These rats resemble the Khmer Rouge.
All told, Hamas has murdered some 1,200 Israelis. This has been the biggest orgy of Jew killing since Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
Conversely, Israel acts in self-defense. Any collateral damage that rank-and-file Palestinians suffer will not be because the Israel Defense Forces gunned them down in their living rooms, but because their jihadist leaders launched this genocidal bloodbath.
Until last weekend, Israel had been pursuing peace like never before. In conjunction with President Donald J. Trump, Israel already had signed mutual-recognition treaties with Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and Morocco. Atop these four Abraham Accords, Israel and Saudi Arabia lately had signaled that a separate peace was within reach.
“I believe that we are at the cusp of…an historic peace with Saudi Arabia,” Netanyahu told the UN last month. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Fox News: “Every day we get closer.”
This is what it looks like when doves fly.
But this enraged the ayatollahs, arguably the most evil, hateful, destructive, and apocalyptic humans alive. The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran and Hamas engineered this War on Israel to car-bomb any truce between Jerusalem and Riyadh.
Hamas’ ensuing carnage has killed at least 29 Americans, at this writing. Fifteen other U.S. citizens are missing and could be kidnapped or dead.
These facts alone should quell the Far Left’s lust for Hamas. Alas, this catastrophe hurts America. Thus, too many on the Left are exactly where one typically finds them: on the wrong side of the Stars and Stripes.
