Greta Thunberg and her woke ilk have done a great disservice to human civilization by shamefully idealizing the Oct. 7, 2023 attack of a murderous gang of Hamas terrorists on Israel, killing well over 1,250 innocent people of all ages, and taking 250 hostages. Siding with Hamas (Palestine is a different matter!) as an honorable liberation movement against "monstrous" Israel, the new "apartheid" state, transmogrifies all human values in a fascist manner, justifying if not glorifying women’s rape, children’s torture, and men’s dehumanizing treatment. The recent reports completely delegitimize any defense of Hamas; those are murderers and rapists ready to commit a new Holocaust against Israel while victimizing their own people when hiding in schools or hospitals and abusing them as launching pads for their missiles. Of course, the Israeli government and the settlers are not innocent players in this whole mess, having done much wrong to Palestinians. But terrorists are terrorists, under whatever flag they operate, especially when they are secretly financed by Iran.
