Hamas has power, but not will, to end war
It’s too bad that some of our brightest young college students are so delusional as to believe that Israel is to blame for the bloodshed in Gaza. I wish they understood that what they promote will not stop the bloodshed. Divestiture may send a message, but in the grand scheme of things, it’ll do nothing. If Israel stops, Hamas survives, and the cycle will simply repeat.
Their aggression is deliberate and designed to incite a deadly response. Just as it has done for decades. It’s obvious — they hate Jews. Hamas started this war, and they could end this today. All they must do is return the hostages and lay down their weapons.
The Jewish state is not welcome among many Muslims in the neighborhood, even though Jews wish no harm and would live peacefully if given the chance. What would you do if you were Netanyahu and responsible for the safety of your citizens, not only today but in the future?
Support Israel, freedom, democracy and the Jewish people who are the real victims here.
