Hamas calls Oct. 7 attack a 'towering milestone'

In a statement on December 14, Hamas tied its anniversary to the October 7 attacks and alleged Israeli violations of a ceasefire framework, as mediators continued talks on a broader deal.

It is a disgrace that Netanyahu didn’t have the courage to destroy Hamas - as he and promised. He hasn’t even seriously tried to fulfill his latest empty promise - to disarm them. They continue to be a threat - and the rest of the West, particularly America, is complicit Israel failing to win this war.

I have always defended secular Jews with no Jewish education (which is the case with nearly 100% of them), because they do not have the intellectual tools to make objective judgments about Jewish issues. But, this is beyond the realm of “poorly educated,” and is an example of the complete moral bankruptcy of leftists. I will never listen to Simon and Garfunkel the same way again.
