Tens of thousands of college students across America are firmly pro-Hamas. One in four Democrats is pro-Hamas. Are these people completely ignorant? 

When reviewing a smattering of the ways Palestinian groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, have slaughtered innocent Israelis, it is stupefying.

If you lived in Israel, you’d want such people sectioned off by barbed wire as well as Israelis do. This is not Apartheid; it is common sense and the quest for survival.

Same Old Massacres

Little has changed from mid-2003 to late 2023.

Israel is no larger than Massachusetts, with 9.4 million people, one-quarter of whom are NOT Jewish. The country is surrounded by a majority of Earth’s 2.1 billion Muslims. Muslim countries in the region do not wish to accept Palestinian refugees. Gosh! Why?
