Keep Destroying Their Lives

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

If posters of kidnapped Israeli men, women, and children, including babies, upsets you so much that you tear them down, then you’re no better than the jihadi trash who murdered over 1,400 Israelis on October 7. By ripping these posters, you support Hamas’ mass murder, rape, and kidnapping of civilians. You endorse their beheading and burning of babies. There is no debate here. If you rip down these posters, you’re with them. 

Also, how stupid are these people? Multiple folks were captured on video tearing down these posters and were fired from their jobs, and rightfully so. This is an act supporting terrorism, and folks who think this is fine should have their lives ruined. 

It goes beyond the trite pro-human rights, pro-Palestinian rights drivel we hear from terrorist-sympathizing circles. Scores of people have been busted for supporting Adolf Hitler and hatred of Jews, including wanting to hurl them into gas chambers. In the Internet age, finding and attacking pro-jihadi trash goes both ways. And folks who rip these posters down are like shooting a fish in a barrel. These posters have become the bug zapper that will always attract the antisemites, and they’ve been smacked down when exposed.

If you feel strongly about Jewish genocide, you should be able to stand there and explain why, not run away. And don’t cry about losing your job, either. People who feel this passionately about something, right or wrong, should be prepared to sacrifice. For me, an agenda that involves killing all the Jews, which has been the main war cry from the left since the October 7 attacks, isn’t worth it. It’s also wrong, but that goes without saying. 

When these pro-terrorist animals are identified, they get exposed. A dentist in Florida tried to say he ripped down the posters to foment peace or something. He got fired from his job. Maybe he can open a practice in Gaza with the rest of his terrorist pals. Others like him are just going to have to figure out how to pay the bills, but that’s what you get for supporting Hamas and genocide.
