Normal Americans understand that Israel is the good guy in the current fight and that Hamas is the bad guy*.

"Today’s brainwashed students (much like the German students brainwashed by Nazi propaganda) have been indoctrinated by radical Palestinian professors like Rashid Khalidi and Joseph Massad (at Columbia University) and the anti-Israel legacy of Edward Said.  They are funded by Marxist donors and Arab money and led by domestic and foreign agitators who harass Jewish students with impunity." 


The world loves dead Jews but hates living ones - Joseph Puder   "Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Memorial Day, was solemnly memorialized at Yad Vashem last Sunday, a particularly sad day in light of the October 7, 2023 massacres, which marked the largest toll of Jewish-Israelis murdered in a single day since the Holocaust.

"Holocaust commemorations took place in the shadow of widespread antisemitism and calls for genocide on campuses throughout the U.S. and the Western world, shattering the confidence that Jew-hatred is a thing of the past.

"In an interview on Yom HaShoah with Aharon Barak on Israeli TV, the retired former president of Israel’s Supreme Court, and a Holocaust survivor, was asked if he thought a Holocaust could happen again in our time.  He unhesitatingly responded with a decisive yes.  He pointed out that as late as 1939, in his native Kovno, Lithuania, no one would have believed that within a short time, the most horrific genocide in world history would take place." . . .

"The current U.S. administration is reluctant to enforce laws against blind hatred, which is antisemitism.  In a recent speech, President Biden drew moral equivalency between antisemitism and Islamophobia.  While the only hate on U.S. campuses is that being  directed at Jews, Biden opted to placate the pro-Hamas crowds by inserting Islamophobia where there is none, regrettably showing that political considerations rather than moral imperatives are guiding him.

"While memorializing dead Jews in his speech at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., Biden correctly reminded Americans and others just how fast the Hamas atrocities of October 7 have been forgotten.  However, at the same time, his administration has delayed sending approved military supplies to the living Jews of Israel.  Biden is no antisemite, but many in his party are.  They simply hate a strong and living Jewish state.  To that, Israelis respond with am Yisrael chai — “the people of Israel live.”

Let these actions of courage and patriotism be an encouragement as well as a charge to us all. May we not just say, “If I had been there, I would have stood up to racism and Jew-hatred.” The reality is that we are there, and we must muster the courage we claim.    . . ."One of the tactics of these pro-Hamas encampments has been to tear down American flags, sometimes burning them, and then hoist the Palestinian flag on poles and statues.  Those who support Hamas are also open about their hate for America as they chant “Death to America” at their protests.  In a contrasting display of strength, a group of young men at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill raised the star-spangled banner after it had shamefully been torn down.  After resisting the mob and replacing the flag, the young men began to sing the National Anthem in honor of what our flag represents.  In the days that followed, the presence of patriotism in resistance to terrorism grew as counter-protesters challenged pro-Hamas rallies at Ole Miss and the University of Alabama." . . .

. . ."Cotton isn’t just intelligent and educated. He’s something more important: He’s ethical and wise. And in a fight between Tom Cotton and Margaret Brennan, she looked like a moral midget, while he was a knight in shining armor."
