Supporting Hamas is glorifying butchery
At the very moment that butchery on the level of the Nazis — with very much the same agenda — takes place, I think you can only take to the streets and social media with condemnation of the victim if, in your heart, you hate Jews.
The dark cloud tearing at my heart is that I am living in a supposedly multi-cultural city in which people feel quite comfortable marching against the Jews who were massacred by a terrorist organization.
Not everyone at a rally wants the death of Jews.
But, the York University Federation of Students issued a document that called Israel and Canada so-called nations, saying:“Resistance against colonial violence is justified and necessary.”
They condoned and cheered the brutality and butchery of Hamas.
A post by a member of the media reads: “If you’re watching coverage that’s lacking in context/voices, email the news outlet Journalists (particularly of colour) have been asking for fairer coverage from inside the newsroom and are often punished for it.”
That was followed by links to articles calling for more understating of the Palestinian situation and plight.
I responded: “You want context to savagery and butchery? You think terrorism deserves understanding? There will be days for discussion of history and politics. These are not those days.”
The response I got back: “Tell me Jerry, when would be the time to talk about how the IDF told one million people to evacuate and then bombed the safe route while they were fleeing? Or that the only land border for refugees to leave through Egypt is closed?”
Did Egypt close the border at the request of the Jews? Not that I know of.
As for the missile strikes on the safe route, various media have said it is impossible to determine whether they were Israeli strikes, misfired Hamas bombs — as happens — or a deliberate strike by Hamas in order to discredit the Israelis.
All of the above are possible. Leaping to the conclusion it was Israel is not journalism. It appears to be anti-Jew.
Would Hamas bomb its own people? Absolutely. Its goal is not betterment of the Palestinian people, it is total destruction of the Jews. They have it in their charter.
The hate comes from union leadership, academia, student groups, police officers, media and lawyers.
And it isn’t done in the dark.
I want to make something clear. I don’t support the Jews or hate the Palestinians.
I don’t put any of my support or lack thereof on a group.
That only leads to partisanship which can lead to bigotry and eventually hatred.
I try to support what I believe is righteous.
Nathanial Veltman is accused of deliberately killing the Afzaal family in London, Ontario due to their Muslim religion.
That he is being tried as a terrorist is, in my opinion, the right way to go.
An Illinois landlord accused of fatally stabbing a six-year-old Muslim boy and seriously wounding his mother was charged with a hate crime after police and relatives said he singled out the victims because of their faith and as a response to the war between Israel and Hamas.
That man, if a court finds him guilty, should go to prison for the rest of his life.
I am against terrorism. Therefore I am against Hamas.
I am living in a supposedly multi-cultural city in which people feel quite comfortable marching against the Jews who were massacred
