WhatsappSupporting the underdog has become stylish these days. But the woke progressive crowd takes the idea to an extreme. Even if the underdog is a rapist killer, in the eyes of the “support the underdog at any cost”, we should have compassion for them. That is how the absurd notions of “queers for Palestine” came to be. It is patently absurd to imagine people who would be tossed off a roof by Hamas radical Islamists actually supporting those very same Islamists.
The “Ministry of Health” numbers of Hamas have been wildly exaggerating numbers in order to build a narrative of Israel committing terrible crimes against Arabs in Gaza. Despite the numbers being grossly exaggerated, they are also false and missing one critical component – who is to blame? The answer is clear – only one group is to blame – Hamas. Nobody else.
Israel has responded the way any normal country would respond if they were attacked as Hamas attacked Israel. The United States decided on Dec. 7th, 1941 that the attack on Pearl Harbor would be the turning point. The United States declared War on Japan, and then on Germany. Any sane person would not have mercy on Germany and Japan following those attacks. Today’s situation in Israel is indeed the same as then. Netanyahu sees himself as the Churchill of this generation for the State of Israel. He knows that it will be a long and difficult war. But as he said so eloquently, “We did not start this war, but we will end it.”
