You think it will not?

Do you think silence in the face of their atrocities does not empower and encourage them?

What is it in my answer that sounds suspiciously like conflating Hamas and Palestinians? What is it in my answer that sounds suspiciously at all? And what’s makes you think that I ever claimed “Palestinians voted for it”? The absence of any basis to your statements is pretty bizarre.

But let’s really expose Hamas’ lies, and let’s make the practice consistent: what specifically is objectionable about their terrorist regime, and what specifically makes you say to hell with them?

Try it and see what happens. I am pretty sure that if you alone do this, it will not make much difference. But if it is done as frequently, as consistently and as uncompromisingly by much of the people and institutions who remain silent and dismissive of Hamas’ atrocities now, you might be surprised how much it can accomplish.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
