At the risk of being very unpopular, could we please face reality? 1. Hamas carried out a brutal, murderous attack against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. 2. Israel finally took a radical step to eradicate Hamas, which, tragically, has led to thousands of dead Palestinians. 3. The terrorists have now demonstrated that they will never agree to any terms for peace. 4. You can never negotiate with the murderers because they will always demand more and will in the end kill their hostages. 5. Hamas has taken the Palestinian population hostage. 6. Israel itself is to be blamed for many wrongdoings, esp. by the settlers. 7. Hamas has planned the war against Israel for many years, diverting massive monetary support from the West for the civil population to build its tunnel system. 8. Screaming out against the Israeli government is antisemitic and naïve. 9. The protesters against Israel have blindly accepted the Hamas/Iran narrative. 10. And I agree, Pres. Netanyahu is the worst president Israel has ever had.
