CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 7, 2024
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU DELIVERED A SPEECH SUNDAY THAT SHOULD BE MANDATORY LISTENING FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THOSE IGNORANT STUDENTS AND FACULTY WHO HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING HAMAS.
IN THAT SPEECH, NETANYAHU REJECTED INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE FOR ISRAEL TO REIN IN ITS MILITARY CAMPAIGN IN GAZA. SPEAKING AT YAD VASHEM, THE HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL IN JERUSALEM, THE PRIME MINISTER SAID ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO FIGHT ITS GENOCIDAL ENEMIES. THE WORD “GENOICIDAL” SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN USED AS A REBUKE TO THOSE STUDENTS CLAIMING ISRAEL IS GUILTY OF GENOCIDE.
NETANYAHU SAID LAST OCTOBER’S ATTACK THAT KILLED 1,200 PEOPLE AND LED TO THE TAKING BY HAMAS OF MORE THAN 200 HOSTAGES WAS NOT A “HOLOCAUST – “NOT BECAUSE HAMAS DID NOT HAVE THE INTENTION TO DESTROY ISRAEL — BUT BECAUSE OF ITS INABILITY TO DO SO. THE INTENTION OF HAMAS, HE SAID, IS THE SAME AS THAT OF THE NAZIS.
THIS IS WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND HAMAS SUPPORTERS REFUSE TO GRASP, OR IN THEIR ANTISEMITISM THEY DON’T CARE AND WISH ISRAEL WOULD GO AWAY.
THE PRESSURE IS ON THE WRONG SIDE. IT SHOULD BE ON HAMAS, NOT ON AMERICA’S VALUED ALLY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
