The global Left seems mighty annoyed that Hitler's genocide failed and seems to wish the Jews in Israel would just die already.
That's way different, I guess:
Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan. Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs. It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally. It did not trend online. There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-bone satire about how Turkish soldiers just love killing children. No, the Duhok attack passed pretty much without comment.
But the reaction is different with Hamas rockets raining down on Israeli civilians.
People need to face the simple fact that the Palestinians in Gaza have a potential 100% defense against Israeli air strikes--don't try to kill Israelis.
But the Left can't accept that. To the Left, Israel's decision to fight back and stop the terrorist attacks rather than just sit and endure the beating they richly deserve is the outrage.
UPDATE: When there will be a ceasefire:
UPDATE: Sometimes people are just on the other side:
By a vote of 217-209, the House rejected a bid to bring a bill to the floor that would have applied sanctions against the terror group Hamas.
So there's that.
The current cross-border fighting has seen a new tactic by the Gazan militant groups: mass-launches aimed at exploiting the statistical failure rate of Israel's air defences and increasing the chance of causing casualties in its cities.
The article notes that the Israelis are no longer double-tapping the incoming rounds predicted to hit targets to save missiles. Which results in a lower interception success rate.
These are the people some Westerners shamefully side with.
