Let's remember the 101 people whose lives still hang in the balance.
One year has passed and if you have been in captivity for 365 days by Hamas, it has been the most horrendous year of your life. You don’t know if you’re going to live or die. You have no idea if you’ll ever be free again. You worry about your family and loved ones back home and how they are suffering. And that’s just for openers.
One Candidate Will Take Action
If you are the family of a hostage it has been the most trying, frustrating, fearful, and rage-filled years of your lives. Likewise, you don’t know if your loved one will ever return, whole or mutilated. You don’t know how they have been treated. You don’t know if your family will ever be reunited.
Perhaps you are praying that Donald Trump will be re-elected, as opposed to Kamala Harris of the Biden/Harris administration which is politically impotent in every way. You might dread the possibility that Harris and Walz could win, and hence, your loved one might never return.
As for the rest of us, who have followed this situation for a solid year, it is still hard to believe that such vigorous pro-Hamas factions exist in the U.S. It even is harder to fathom how warped their views happen to be.
One-Way Thinking
These supporters feign deep concern for Palestinian families split apart and all the hardships that have accrued during this trying time. Concurrently, they show no sympathy whatsoever for the remaining 101 hostages, babies among them, who’ve likely been terrorized for an entire year, with no idea if they’ll ever return home. By all measures these protesters exhibit selective outrage.
These Hamas supporters do not care one wit about the hostages who have been killed, let alone the 1191 people originally massacred. Many have cheered about the attack.
For a single moment, do they realize that if Israel’s enemies put down their arms there will be peace? If Israel, however, puts down its arms, the nation will soon no longer exist.
No Equivalency
There is no moral equivalency here; no balancing mechanism. Israel either remains vigilant or becomes vanquished by the surrounding hordes. As long as a Joe Biden type of leader is in office and feckless university presidents and administrators remain in place, Hamas supporters will gain confidence and boldness in their protests, as ingenuous as they are.
To emphasize: does anyone on the campus of Columbia University care about a even a single Palestinian family, anywhere? I mean truly care. Does any protester in any of the liberal California schools display anything more than their hatred of Jews and hatred of Israel in the long-term scheme of things?
Many simply enjoy the chance to parade around, gaining headlines, letting everyone know just how self-righteous they are, and that they are the friend of the little guy, as they have deemed the Palestinians to be.
Taking a Big Leap
In the broader sense, however, Israel is the little guy. Israel is the target of the U.N. Security Council. Israel alone is singled out as the aggressor, as the warlike nation, as an apartheid state, and as the persecutor of defenseless peoples. All the while, the U.N. issues free passes to nations whose human rights violations are legion: Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela, as well as a host of Middle East nations.
So, now, beyond one year, let us never forget the gross injustice occurring, the suffering that Israel has endured, the ordeal that the hostages continue to face, the absolute nightmare for their families, and how, at this juncture, no reasonable resolution is in sight.
Let us recall the inaction and incompetence of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Antony Blinken, and all others in this administration.
All for Show
Let us consider that any other uprisings in the U.S. in support of the Hamas murderers is essentially for show, and that these protesters care little if anything about Palestinians. They simply want to flex their muscles, display their hatred for Jews, and support for those who would vanquish Jews.
Most of all, let’s remember the 101 people whose lives still hang in the balance, while politicians, pundits, and protesters dance about.

Their outrage has nothing to do with what they care about, and everything to do with whom they hate.
Exactly.
Some who are from there may indeed care but again their care is one way and full of hatred the other. They were raised with that hatred and ultimately it will consume them.
It’s heartbreaking to see hatred and irrationality consume people.
They’re moral retards. Why bother with the details. But even so, it’s a good intellectual exercise.
Thank you for this helpful summary piece.
I always listen to “student demonstrations” to see if there’s any valid message
this one has NONE whatsoever, it appears to be just another SorozNazi type propaganda effort to weaken America and our allies (think: AntiFa, BLM, Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Washington, CAIR, SFP, J Street, and all the rest of the immoral scum and rioters we’ve been subjected to these past few years)
it is long past time for the college administrators to boot these moral slime off campus.
I agree.
And more of them from ethnicities previously not usually openly active in such hatred have come out of the woodwork.
