The Issue: A large “pro-Palestine” protest in Brooklyn following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
Sunday’s Post (Oct. 22) gave me a good punch in the face when I saw the front-page headline: “Outrage as thousands march, call for death of Israel.”
Instantly, I thought what would happen if Mexico had “sneak attacked” the United States and killed 1,000 innocent civilians, called for total destruction of the United States, beheaded children and women and committed just about every atrocity possible against US victims.
If the above ever happened, does anyone think there would be a march in Brooklyn to spew hate against the United States for defending its land against a barbaric attack? I think the possible accurate answer is: “Can pigs fly?”

All these pro-Palestinian individuals and students, including those who are protesting in New York City and other parts of the country, need to be swooped up and sent over to fight over in Palestine.
What is the point of them demonstrating and clashing with the police in the United States?
They are all cowards. I don’t see any of them agreeing to get on a plane and fly over to the Middle East and fight for their cause.

What was it that former First Lady Michelle Obama said? “When they go low, we go high”?
On Oct. 22, there was a prayer gathering of Jewish people in Brooklyn. There were no chants wishing death on anyone. There were no clashes with NYPD. This peaceful gathering of Jews was simply a time for the community to come together as one, to inspire each other, to comfort one another and to pray to G-d in heaven for help and support during this trying and tragic time.
Obviously, this is not a story that would gain any traction in mainstream media, as it is at odds with the “bloodthirsty colonialist” image of Jews currently being presented.
When deciding to take sides in this conflict, Americans should just look at the difference in gatherings and ask themselves who the real bullies are.

It is dismaying to see the horrific protests condemning Israel, cheered on by idiots adopting positions that would have gladdened Adolf Hitler’s heart.
It is simultaneously unsurprising that the biggest cheerleaders are celebrities and college students. These groups have been the greatest supporters of cancel culture and woke nonsense for years — clearly, proponents of twisted group-think.
Why do Jewish voters back the Democratic Party, which has hated Israel for decades? The Democrats seem very conflicted about which side deserves their support in the current conflict, with many of their members siding with the monsters who slaughtered civilians in their homes two weeks ago. It is unconscionable.

I am scratching my head on this one, folks. Remember not long ago when parents were considered domestic terrorists simply for advocating for their children by keeping woke policies out of their schools? The FBI was told to investigate them.
Now we have a litany of college students from all over the country protesting in favor of a known terrorist group.
This is blatant antisemitism and terrorist behavior. Yet we’ve heard nothing from Attorney General Merrick Garland or our president. Is anyone else confused?

I read a headline that said there were global demonstrations against Israel over the weekend.
I was shocked, to say the least.
I cannot reconcile this fact after Israel was attacked in such a barbaric manner. If any demonstrations were warranted, they should be against the uncivilized and racist actions committed against Israelis.
Jews represent 0.2% of the world’s population. Yet they have contributed so much to civilization, despite the attempts to wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Hamas, driven by a distorted religious fervor, views the Jews as infidels, not worthy to exist.
