Where were the Social Justice Warriors’ protestations in 2011 when 4,000 Palestinians were murdered over 10 years during the Syrian Civil War? Security Council: 12 years of war, leaves 70 percent of Syrians needing aid | UN News Or when 1500 Palestinians were killed by Lebanese militias in 1976? On This Day: 1,500 Palestinians slain in Karantina massacre 46 years ago – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com) Or during 1970’s Black September? A 2020 France24.com article cited that “In the fighting, 3,000 Palestinian fighters, Jordanian soldiers and civilians were killed according to Jordan, while the PLO puts the toll in the tens of thousands.” Fifty years ago: Black September for PLO – France 24
The world only seems to take notice of Palestinians dying when Israel is involved. When international media platforms exclude coverage of Arab vs. Arab violence, an overt anti-Israel narrative emerges, but most glaringly upon American college campuses, where malleable minds are being usurped by scimitar-wielding anti-Israel “educators.” Hostile to patriotism and common sense, many of these citadels of education have regressed into indoctrination camps, where American students learn how sophisticated, fashionable, and academically evolved it is to hate Israel & America and their Judeo-Christian values.
Where is the news coverage of the 200,000 internally displaced Israelis? Jews were not the only ones left homeless but also refugees from African violence.

There are in Israel 30,000 asylum seekers from the war-torn Horn of Africa, especially Eritrea, according to the UN Refugee Agency. 1200-1500 were once again left adrift, most recently by Hamas, the terrorists who murdered 100 of these African exiles.
Qatar’s media titan, Al Jazeera, and countless other news networks failed to run confirmed UN reports that Israel sent thousands of tons of aid weekly to Gaza before October 7th. This bias descends to the pee-wee pages of The Barre Times and The Burlington Free Press, where opposing viewpoints are denied equal time.
According to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza, as of December 5, over 17,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 40,000 wounded since October 7. CNN acquired the figures from the Gazan ministry and ran the identical numbers. But a November 17th Time magazine article reported that “while some have argued that Gaza’s health ministry does not distinguish between combatant and civilian deaths in their tallies, others are now suggesting that it may even be embellishing the numbers.” What Experts Say About the Palestinian Death Toll Figures | TIME Hamas reports are as reliable as Iran, North Korea, and Red China’s government-run ministries of manufactured facts & figures.
Ghazi Hamad, a spokesperson for Hamas, was interviewed on October 24th by LBC Arabic Language TV in Lebanon. Translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute, his words were clear: “We will repeat the October 7 attack, time and again, until Israel is annihilated. Everything we do is justified.”
Today “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” have become threadbare, pro-Palestine catchphrases for the “devious” governmental policies of Israel. Turkey’s massacre of Armenians starting in 1915 was genocide. In 1948, 80,000 Jews living in Egypt, most from centuries-long ancestral lineages, were deported. Now there are estimated to be 100,000. That’s called ethnic cleansing. These figures are strikingly similar for the Sephardic refugees of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Ethiopia, and Morocco.
Official messages were sent via Wellesley school personnel stating that Zionists, or Jewish students, were not welcome in school dorms.
Violent Pro-Hamas protesters attacked an L.A. film screening of October 7 atrocities held at LA’s (apropos) Museum of Tolerance. The preview was organized by Israeli-born actress Gal (Wonder Woman) Gadot, who didn’t attend. Brawl Erupts Outside of LA Museum of Tolerance at Gal Gadot’s Hamas Attack Screening (ijr.com)
ISLAM IN TURKEY, a 7/27/2020 English language periodical reprinted an article originally published in Arabic. According to that Qatari interview, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh stated that he refused $15 billion in aid because disarming was its main condition. Instead of wars, Gaza could become another peaceful and affluent Qatar or a Mediterranean Singapore-by-the-Sea.
