When Charlie Kirk was murdered, those of us on the conservative side rightly chastised those of our political adversaries who cheered and celebrated his death. We accused them--again rightly--of shameful callousness and of polluting public discourse and coarsening social life. What President Trump does here merits the same chastisement, for the same reasons.
I just spoke to my brother, who is in southern Gaza. He was driving back to where he's staying in the evening, when he was surrounded by Hamas's masked gunmen, who raised their weapons at him, asking him for ID & if he had guns on him. He let them search his car and answered all their questions. He works 16-hour days for a major international medical NGO trying to provide services to displaced Gazans who suffer from all kinds of horrendous hardships after 2 years of war. He refused to leave Gaza a year and a half ago when I offered him a chance because he wanted to stay behind and help his people.
Hamas is terrorizing the people of Gaza and acting like a thuggish militia that can kill, maim, torture, and disappear individuals at any moment. These fascists are only there to maintain their grip on power. They will never surrender their dominion over the Strip, necessitating the formation of an international coalition to form a force that can wrest control of the coastal enclave away from Hamas's grip.
Saveย Gazaย fromย Hamas!
Anyone who celebrates, glorifies, loves or joyously commemorates Hamas's October 7th terror attack against women, children, civilians & the taking of the elderly as hostages is a despicable human being and has no moral standing to decry the suffering of Gazans since that evil day
