October 7 should have been an open-and-shut case of moral condemnation.
During peace and holiday, invading Hamas gunmen murdered, tortured, mass raped, decapitated, and mutilated some 1,200 Israelis. The vast majority were unarmed women, children, infants, and the elderly.
The cowardly murderers proudly filmed their atrocities and then fled back to Gaza—to cheers from the Gaza street.
Before Israel even retaliated, the mass murdering of Jews earned praise from the Middle East, the international hard left, and especially the faculty and students of elite Western campuses.
When the Israeli Defense Forces struck back, the killers dispersed to the safety of their multibillion-dollar subterranean cities. The cowardly elite architects of the mass murder fled to Arab sanctuaries in Lebanon and Qatar.
From its headquarters burrowed below hospitals, mosques, and schools, Hamas bartered hostages for a reprieve from the IDF and the release of its own convicted terrorists in Israeli jails.
Hamas shot any of its own supporters who refused to shield Hamas gunmen.
It continued launching rockets at Israeli civilian centers. It serially lied about its casualties, expropriating intended relief food and fuel for its underground tunnel city of killers.
Abroad, Hamas supporters also emulated the methods of the pro-Nazi demonstrators in Western cities of the 1930s. Unlike their pro-Israel critics, the pro-Hamas demonstrators in the U.S. and Europe turned violent.
They took over and defaced private and public property. They chanted genocidal anti-Semitic slogans calling for erasure of the nation of Israel.
They interrupted shoppers, blocked highways, attacked businesses, and swarmed bridges. They assaulted police.
The majority wore masks to hide their identities in the fashion of anti-semitic Klansmen.
Why did the doctrinaire left, the youth of the Democratic Party, and the campuses outdo each other in their anti-semitic venom toward Israel?
For the first time in their lives, many of the ignorant protestors suddenly professed concern about refugees, colonialism, disproportionality, innocent civilians, and the rules of war.
But none could explain why the Palestinians who fled Israel in 1947-48 still self-identify as victimized “refugees” when 900,000 Jews ethnically cleansed from Middle-East Arab cities about the same time do not.
The 200,000 Greek Cypriots driven out from norther Cyprus by Turkey apparently do not warrant “refugee’’ status either.
Few protestors knew that Jews have lived in present-day Israel for over three millennia. The longest colonialist presence there were Muslim Turks who brutally ran the Holy Land for 300 years until they lost World War I and were expelled.
How exactly did it happen that the eighth-century A.D. Al-Aqsa Mosque was built within King Herod’s earlier Second Temple enclosure?
The Pro-Hamas crowd has little appreciation that colonizing Arab Muslims have one of history’s longest records of “settling” other countries far from their historic birthland.
They “settled” and “colonized” the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Middle East, Berber North Africa, and southern Spain. Millions of Middle Easterners migrated to—“settled?”— supposedly infidel European cities, where they often self-segregate, and do not assimilate fully with their magnanimous hosts.
As far as “disproportionality,” it is the goal of every power at war, Hamas included.
What protestors are furious about is that Israel is more effective at being disproportionate in retaliation than Hamas and its Iranian supporters were in their preemptive mass murdering.
Targeting innocent civilians? Hamas is among the current greatest offenders in the world.
It rockets Israeli cities without warning. It mass murders Jews in their beds during peace. It exposes Gazans to mortal danger by impressing them as human shields. Hamas shoots those who refuse.
The “rules of war” are violated by Hamas daily. Such protocols require combatants to wear uniforms not to blend in with civilians, not to use them as shields, not to murder noncombatants, not to rape them, not to mutilate them, and not to execute civilians without trial.
Why then would millions ally themselves with this odious reincarnation of the SS?
Are they ignorant of the history of the Middle East?
Are they arrogant since few challenge their hate and threats?
Are they opportunists who feel mouthing anti-Western shibboleths gains them career traction in leftist-run media, academia, and popular culture?
Are they bullies who count on the Western silent majority remaining quiet as they disrupt lives, trash Western tolerant culture, and commit violence?
Like Hamas that they support, do they despise Jews? Why else do they express an existential hatred toward Israelis that they never display to any other group?
Those now on the street utter not a peep about the Sudanese Arab mass killers in Darfur, Chinese oppressors of the Muslim Uighurs, Russians targeting civilians in Ukraine, or ISIS, Syrian, and Yemeni murderers of fellow Muslims.
Yet all of these terrorist killers are guilty of the very charges the protestors falsely attribute to Israel. But they are all not Jewish—and that explains the pass given them by our anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas street.
10/7 res ipsa loquitur.
BO brought the enemy to these shores.
Yes and BO still stinks.
Yeah, Tafari tried to get him to bathe and look how THAT turned out….
Ted Kennedy, Emmanuel Cellar, and other Democrats were responsible for changing our immigration policy in 1965. The new policy favored and facilitated immigration from the Third World, resulting in the nightmare we are experiencing today.
Depraved prevaricator Obama Hussein is calling for volunteers to join his Hamas Omar Obama Islamic-American Brigade.
Volunteers can sign up to the Obama Hussein mansion in Washington, D.C.
Only in America can a Man? Bury his past. “The Obamanation” hidden passport records/His Assocation with Rev. Write for over 20years./ His Grad thesis. /His affiliation with a Known Gay HOOK up the Men’s Chicago athletic Club. the fraud and deception he was involved with Resco and the Chicago clan of five. /And no past history and his (Ring of Marriage to Mohamid) That he still wears to this day. How did they manage to hide his tour of Africa in 2004 Part of his HIV awareness and testing his campaign slogan of “””Transparency.”””(In his nation of birth !) Try finding any of those records. Did the news ever follow up on the area of Africa where the Salt Vaccine was developed how it is considered a place demonic demon where the AIDs virus was permeated. threw the Polio Vaccine? Another scientific miss calculation like the VAXX of death.
Great essay by a great American. The most shocking thing is the Fifth Column in America, thanks to the perverse policies of the Democrat Party.
Islam is an obscenity begging for expiration.
Give it to them. Grant them their martyrdom. Or accept yours. They won’t have it any other way.
So true.
They in the past have stated they worship death while the West fears it.
So, the logical solution by their very own announced word is to HELP them by giving them what they proudly worship. As for their supporters in the West, give them only one of two choices: Gaza or Yemen. The radicals in the Squad should have their USA Passports pulled and then be sent to Yemen tomorrow. They need to live what they preach.
Depraved psychopathic murderous Islam has been the scourge of humanity for 1400 years.
Enough already.
“ Few protestors knew that Jews have lived in present-day Israel for over three millennia. ”
They think that a millennia is ten years long. The education system is not good enough for them to understand complex words.
This is why the left engineered the elimination of teaching history. Didn’t want their shock troops understanding the truth about. the past.
Excellent column by Prof. Hanson. He has aptly described our current environment as an “empire of lies.” Boy, was he ever correct.
Of course all the pro-Hamas protestors voted for Biden and will likely vote again for him. After all- it was Biden who sent over a hundred million to Hamas so they could buy the weapons and build the tunnels as well as giving Iran billions to help destabilize the middle east.
Hamas and Iran have no greater friend on the planet than Joe Biden.
Plus, a credible news report stated Biden sent Hamas directly $158million two weeks before they attacked on Oct. 7th. As a matter of fact, when he leaves office FINALLY on January 20, 2025, he should only be allowed to retire on 1/4 of his first year salary as a rep in Yemen since he values them so much.
Great article by VDH. Ignorance, arrogance, and the inability to think are the hallmarks of this generation of protesters who abide by the horde mentality and get away with it.
The riots (so called protests) are a huge part of the attack on Israel. It’s the islamic 5th column in the US.
The islamic terrorists observed and assisted with BLM/ANIFA riots. They used it to disable law enforcement and justice system. They learned that using violence and threats works well in America.
So they not only attacked Israel, but also mobilized their rioters in the US. It’s an attack on Israel and US at the same time. With Iran on top of it.
Destroying Iranian regime and all of their proxy terrorist groups will reverse all the damages, and restore law and order worldwide.
ORDER FBI AND DOJ to investigate funding websites that send money to Gaza! Surely, some, or most, of the money ends up directly or indirectly with HAMAS! That means they are funding a U.S. designated TERRORIST GROUP!
AHMAD ASSED, the President of the Islamic Center of NM, organized a protest in support of HAMAS in 2012 and was the unofficial adviser to UNM’s MSA and surely radicalizing the students who joined him in the protest. WAS HE, OR IS, SENDING MONEY THAT ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF HAMAS??? IS HE RADICALIZING THE MOSQUE?
That’s how you get these people!
Since those two agencies have full plates going after J6ers and DJT, for sure they will get right on that as soon as they complete going after DJT and his supporters.
Oh wait, there’s someone at the door.
If we want the DOJ and FBI to go after those Hamas supporters, we’ll have to say all their members are MAGA supporters.
IS EVERYONE’S COMMENT “AWAITING MODERATION” OR JUST MINE? WHAT’S THEIR PROBLEM?
The non-Muslims among these protestors are virtue signaling to win their woke “merit badges.” They have almost no knowledge of, much less actual interest in, the history of Israel and on the ground realities of Islam. Eg “Queers for Palestine.” They are little better than sheep who, in packs roar like lions but individually are cowardly and insecure. My suspicion is that they are opportunistic seeking enhanced grades for “extra credit” work or, just maybe, getting paid by NG0s underwritten by sore asses. But in this techno age their actions and shouted verbal abuse are recorded and will haunt them forever.
About 99% of my comments get that tag.
Your history is informative, as always. However, nobody cares. Everyone (with very few exceptions) has always hated Jews. Sometimes they have “tolerated” Jews, but ultimately, everyone HATES Jews. Israel will defeat Hamas, the colleges and universities will eventually beg for Jewish donations and they all assume life will just go back to Jew hatred simmering under the surface. I am disheartened, disgusted, appalled and terrified.
I think there are more than a few exceptions to anti-Semites but yes, anti Semitism is widespread and a very old bigotry.
the jews have no friends only lip service . the current measly support will soon evaporate and the jews will be the demons once again . the west will suffer the consequences but they don’t believe so . ” why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing ?the kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against his Anointed , saying , let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us ! He who sits in the heavens laughs , the Lord scoffs at them . Then He will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his fury , saying , But as for Me , I have installed My King Upon Zion , My holy mountain ” . psalm 2 v 1-6 . ” it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God .” hebrews 10 v 31 this atrocity will pass but there will be more to come .
Not only are these pro-Hummus unhinged useful idiots, but they are completely oblivious to historical facts (or they are aware of them and just don’t give a rat’s rectum).
Truth and the Hamas Charter
1.The complete destruction of Israel as an essential condition for the liberation of Palestine and the establishment of a theocratic state based on Islamic law. (Sharia.)
2. The need for both unrestrained and unceasing holy war, jihad, to attain the above objective,
3. The deliberate disdain for, and dismissal of, any negotiated resolution for political settlement of Jewish and Muslim claims to the Holy Land, and
4. The reinforcement of historical anti-Semetic tropes and calumnies married to sinister conspiracy theories.
Summary of 36 articles of the Hamas Charter, Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, 1988 revised, (2017) by Georgetown University.
The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews, (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
Judge whether this is sane ideology.
Exposing the Hamas Charter.
God sees all, his judgment is coming to this earth for the way we treated the Jewish people.
The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews, when the Jews will hide behind stones and trees.
The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.
From the River to the Sea.
See how the evil ones plot for centures to wipe out the Jews….but its not going to happen.
A silly wee white American girl was telling me that she despises ”Colonialism” and ”Settlers” who conquered that land.
So I asked her if she knew that from current day Istanbul all the way over to Kabul there were only Jews Christians, Hindus and Buddhists and a few other minority religious Sects until islamic warriors appeared some 1400 year ago and destroyed all that area until it become colonized and settled by muslims ONLY.
She screamed at me telling me that I am a racist fascist islamowhatever..
Ya cant fix that kind of stupid… you really cant..
