On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas killers slaughtered 1,200 people, more than two-thirds of them civilians, inside Israel.
For the ensuing three weeks, they refused Israel’s demands to turn over the 251 hostages and to surrender the architects of the massacre.
No matter — within a day of the attacks, when Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli troops on Israeli soil, the American left was already screaming “genocide!” They did not mean Hamas’ intended genocide of Jews, a foretaste of which was seen when it launched a surprise invasion force of more than 4,000 terrorists some 15 miles into Israel.
The killers were accompanied by some 2,000 “innocent” Gazan “civilians.”
