@aral @3x10to8mps People at "pro-Palestine" marches chanting anti-Semitic slogans such as "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" but no condemnation for Hamas.

Israel is not committing a "savage" attack. This is the ugly task of disarming an enemy that does not value human life. That's why Hamas convinced children to be suicide bombers earlier in their sordid history, and it's why now they use civilians and children as human shields.

@aral @3x10to8mps No, there hasn't been the condemnation of the October 7 attack. No one hanging Israeli flags. No one wearing "Israel Strong" shirts. Just a whole lot of "what Hamas did was bad, BUT..."

Jewish people around the world who have stood side by side other causes have been betrayed yet again by an anti-Semitic world.

@aral It is a shame that Hamas has put their citizens, many of them children, in such a dangerous predicament with their violent and anti-Semitic rhetoric and actions.

Hamas should finally swallow their pride, lay down their weapons, and surrender instead of forcing their citizens to stay in the path of destruction and using them as human shields.
