The fog of war: Root causes and resolution | Op-Ed Contributors | Jerusalem Post
While the rejection by Hamas of any peace with any Israel - or the existence of Israel itself - is a foundational root cause, there is a much more pernicious and sinister one that is all but ignored in the fog of war. This is the public call by Hamas, in its charter as well as its contemporary declarations, for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews wherever they may be.
Jews everywhere - not just in Israel - are referred to as inherently evil, as responsible for all the evils of the world, as defilers of Islam, and, repeatedly during these hostilities, as the "sons of apes and pigs." This genocidal anti-Semitism - and I do not use these words lightly or easily, but there are no other words to describe what is affirmed in these genocidal calls, covenants and declarations - this culture of hatred, this is where it all begins.
NO SHIT.
Yet, don't expect anyone to get it. Even as AMERICAN CITIZENS are MARCHING AGAINST ISRAEL AND JEWS, and CALLING THEM TERRORISTS AND MURDERERS, and CALLING FOR THEIR DEATHS AND DESTRUCTION, IN THE NAME OF PEACE AND BROTHERHOOD, they will ignore the whizzing sound.
The whizzing sound of the irony zipping past their heads.
