I have been surprised by the outright anti-semitism and tolerance for Hamas after they brutally attacked innocent Israeli citizens, as well as Americans and people from other countries who happened to be in Israel on Oct. 7. October 7 should have been an open-and-shut case of moral condemnation. Hamas soldiers murdered, tortured, kidnapped, and raped women and children, as well as men. The murderers proudly filmed their atrocities and then fled back to Gaza, where there were cheers from the Gaza streets.While the world was rocked by the brutality and Israel hadn’t had time yet to retaliate and start to root out Hamas, there seemed to be immediate support for Palestine and Hamas in city streets around the world, despite the fact that the “rules of war” are violated by Hamas daily.
