‘”Our biggest fright just came to life”: Survivors of Israeli kibbutz massacres recount Hamas attack (Christian Post, 10/13) No matter what one’s position on the “Israel/Palestinian issue,” anyone who supports the Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel, committing war crimes, has lost their moral compass. When one has seen the result of war crimes, it is difficult not to feel anger. The antisemitism on display (not just anti the nation of Israel) as evidenced by the chant, “gas the Jews” is totally disgusting. Many have apparently not moved passed the Third Reich and its embrace of historical hatred of the Jews. Pray that this doesn’t blow up into WWIII
Even Russell Moore Says So
