OPINION:
The Abraham Accords — signed by Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain in 2020 — were gaining traction. Hope for a lasting peace in the Middle East seemed possible, as some Arab nations had agreed to normalize relations with the Jewish state. But Hamas would have none of that. Hate had to be stoked, and the terrorists knew exactly how to do it.
Provoked only by the promise of peace, Hamas crossed into Israel, where its members murdered, raped and kidnapped Jews. They recorded themselves mutilating their rape and murder victims. As expected, Israel retaliated and there were Palestinian casualties. Peace was derailed. Hamas, the perpetrator of the vilest of acts, somehow became the victim.
Enter the useful idiots on U.S. college campuses, kids who cannot see that they are being used as instruments of hate. If Hamas and radicalism succeed, every Jew would be killed, along with all gay and transgender people. Every woman would be forced to cover her head and face. No woman or girl would be educated, and Christians would be forced, on pain of death, to bow to Islam.
The next group to be subjugated would be determined by Hamas or Iran. Would these same protesting college students be complicit then, too?
