Those Not Condemning Hamas are Antisemitic | Newsmax.com
It should not be difficult to condemn terrorism.
It has nothing to do with whether you support the current Israeli government and its policies.
One can sympathize with the plight of the Palestinians, as many of us do. But that has nothing to do with the brutal murders of women and children and the elderly, with the point-blank executions of 260 young people attending a music festival, with the slaughter of children in front of their parents or of parents in front of their children, as Hamas did.
For a very long time, those on the left who have been most critical of Israel's policies have insisted that they are anti-Israel and not antisemites. Not so.
Those who do not condemn Hamas are antisemites. It is as simple as that.
The mass murder of over 1,000 Jews — the worst day in Jewish history since the Holocaust — was driven by hatred of all Jews.
To blame Israel for this mass murder is an expression of antisemitism at its worst.
In New York's Times Square last Sunday, the antisemites held a rally in support of Palestine. They were joined by their allies — Nazis waving swastikas. What is wrong with these people? They are haters, and they cheer the butchers.
