OPINION:
On Oct. 7, Hamas killed Jewish babies in ovens, beheaded Israelis of all ages, and raped, mutilated, tortured and murdered any Jews its terrorists could find (in total about 1,200 people, more Jews than had been killed in any single day since the Holocaust).
While the primary enemy here is Hamas, it should be noted that the general Palestinian population is not “clean” with respect to attacks against Israel. And Hamas uses them as shields at schools, hospitals and elsewhere, and it grossly exaggerates and falsifies the numbers of Palestinian deaths.
Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are fully justified in attacking Hamas with war in an effort to finally eliminate this deadly enemy. Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East and the only democracy. Yet former President Barack Obama and his administration stabbed Israel in the back, and this continues in the Biden administration.
Further, antisemitism has swept across the U.S. and our college campuses. There are people here who hate our country and our Constitution: billionaires, globalists, Marxists and leftists. There are even some in Congress and in our education system, where they work to indoctrinate our children. In many places, they’ve succeeded. There is a lot more behind these riots at college campuses, where students are the useful idiots of big funders.
It is time for the American people to wake up and stand up. You are being used. Learn the truth and legally act upon it while our country still allows it. Expressing your voice, taking legal action and voting are our most powerful weapons. But these could soon disappear.
