These Sinister "Pro-Palestinian" Protests Are a Warning to Us All


(Telegraph-UK) Danny Cohen - The latest ceasefire proposal for Gaza has not been accepted by Yahya Sinwar and his partners in terror. For the leadership of Hamas, Palestinian casualties of war are a price worth paying for their genocidal aims. But what of all the people in Western countries who have expressed such anger about the war in Gaza and who have placed huge pressure on Israel to end it? If people cared so much about innocent Palestinians caught up in the fighting, why are there not tens of thousands on the streets of London every Saturday demanding that Hamas accept the ceasefire, or university campus protests demanding that the terrorists agree to end the war? On social media, I have not seen any popular hashtags calling for Hamas to agree to the ceasefire. I have not seen the masses on TikTok mobilized against Sinwar and his backers in Iran. It is a terrible shame they do not realize that the best way to protect the civilians of Gaza is to pressure Hamas to stop the war. The world feels upside down. Why is it that a democratic state that was the victim of the worst massacre in its history faces all the protests, but the terrorist organization which started it faces none? There is something so perverse about this that it should act as a warning to us all. The writer was director of BBC Television from 2013 until 2015.
