The Pro-Hamas Students Are on the Losing Side

(National Post-Canada) Adam Pankratz - One year after the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas in Israel, protesters chanting anti-Israel slogans stormed and smashed buildings at McGill University. In Vancouver, pro-Hamas demonstrators burned Canadian flags on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery. A day later, an anti-Israel group at the University of Toronto started a "week of rage." Equivalent anti-Israel demonstrations occurred at universities across North America, in support of the butchers who had savagely murdered innocent Jews. These pathetic losers have chosen the side of terrorists and murderers instead of Jews worldwide and Israel fighting for democracy and Western values against a constant onslaught of barbarism. One cannot help but wonder if they truly understand what they are marching in favor of. There is no doubt that a Gazan mother grieves with equal pain to the Israeli mother for her lost child. But symmetry of grief is not symmetry of responsibility. It all comes back to who started it and what was their intent. Israel is fighting an existential war for survival and reprisal for an unprovoked attack and murder of its citizens on its soil.
