People in America Gather to Celebrate Hamas Attack

You can read this for yourselves.  There is a certain evil that penetrates.  Even the scenes of woman and children murdered by Hamas won't stop certain folks from celebrating.

Terrorists slaughter innocent people to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. They also do it to inspire their allies at home and abroad.

On Saturday, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel killing hundreds and wounding thousands. An unknown number of hostages were taken, according to CNN.

Considered a terrorist organization by the U.S., Hamas controls the Gaza Strip, a densely populated coastal Palestinian enclave. Iran is a state sponsor of Hamas, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The wholesale slaughter of innocents should be universally condemned by all civilized peoples. But it’s not. The attack on Israel, which included thousands of rockets, is a cause for celebration for some.

It would seem one could support Palestine and condemn Hamas. To conflate Palestine with Hamas, however, is not only troubling, it’s also dangerous. In the U.S. some groups are doing just that. In New York City, “Pro-Palestinian groups applaud Hamas terror onslaught,” according to the Times of Israel.  They’re also planning “support rallies.”

A chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America called for “solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to resist.” Other pro-Palestinian groups such as Within Our Lifetime, Samidoun, Decolonize This Place and Al-Awda, are planning rallies in New York on Sunday and Monday “to defend the heroic Palestinian resistance.”

Within Our Lifetime was blunt with the assertion, “Supporting Palestinian liberation is supporting whatever means necessary it takes to get there. Freedom has only ever been achieved through resistance,” according to the Times of Israel.
