Hamas Murdered Canadian-Israeli Peace Activist
(National Post-Canada) Sabrina Maddeaux - Over a month after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, remains found at Kibbutz Be'eri confirmed that peace activist Vivian Silver, 74, was killed by Hamas terrorists. CTV News ran a story with the headline, "Canadian Peace Activist Vivian Silver, Who Went Missing after Hamas Attack, Has Died" - as if she had first simply wandered away from her home and then died of natural causes. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly's post on Twitter made it sound as though Silver died peacefully in her sleep rather than being brutalized and desecrated to the point where she was literally unrecognizable. This was not simply a "loss," this was a woman who was slaughtered for no other reason than that she was Jewish. As antisemites and Hamas supporters seek to sow confusion and denial about the attacks and their aftermath, it's more important than ever to get the language right and call things what they are. Murders aren't mere deaths. Terrorists aren't simply militants, let alone resisters. To be pro-Hamas is inexcusably antisemitic. Hamas murdered Vivian Silver in cold blood.
