Hamas Deserves Plenty of Blame among the "Free Palestine" Crowd
(Toronto Sun-Canada) Jerry Agar - There have been hundreds of demonstrations in Toronto after the terrorist attacks on Israel in Oct. 2023. But what about Hamas? Where was the concern, if not the appropriate horror, over the vicious, inhumane attacks perpetrated against innocent people with such glee that they were recorded and broadcast to the world with sickening pride? Hamas showed pride in killing Jewish babies, pride in raping Jewish women and killing as many Jews of all ages as they could. Have any of those shouting "Free Palestine" suggested that the elimination of Hamas might free Palestinians from the grinding life they have been subjected to under a terrorist organization that hides its murderers among Gaza's hospitals, schools, and general population? Ask yourself, "Why am I not just as angry about the people who terrorize and murder, and plan to go on murdering, just because they have a generational, visceral hatred of Jews? Why am I not speaking out about that with equal passion and frequency?" If all your energy is expended saying you just want peace and safety for Palestinian moms and their children, but Hamas never enters the conversation, maybe in the back of your mind, in a dark place you don't want to acknowledge, you just don't like the Jews.
