Palm Beach Post, Letters to the Editor: Where are the demands on Hamas?
The world has turned against Israel. I agree that horrific things are happening to the Gazan people, but the world seems to have forgotten why this is happening.
On Oct. 7, Hamas, along with other terrorist groups, perpetrated the most horrific, inhumane massacre of the Israeli people. That is the reason for the devastation in Gaza. Israel is being demanded to “ceasefire.” Why is Hamas not being demanded to surrender? They caused this.
There are horrific ethnic wars all over the world, but the United Nations does not demand ceasefires. Only Israel is told to stand down. People wondered why the Jews did not fight back in Europe in the 1930s. Now they are fighting back, and they are being castigated for it. Where is Justice? Demand the surrender of Hamas and then the suffering of the Gazans will stop.
