Send this to anyone still on the "but Israel" side of things. Maybe we can save some of them

Quote:my older cousin, Daniel Pearl, an investigative journalist for The Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamist jihadis
Quote:Even after what my family had been through, their work encouraged me to be idealistic and believe that the Jewish people could make peace with our neighbors
Quote:Why did the left—who supposedly stood up for human rights—put child-murdering Hamas terrorists on a pedestal?
Quote:I agreed that the settlements were unlawful, that Gaza was a humanitarian crisis, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyuahu was a dictator. I assumed—if I cared enough, if I mourned for the Palestinian dead, if I put nuance above all else—our neighbors and their allies would give us the same decency.
Quote:I saw the true face of Palestinians and their allies. All around the world, they celebrate. They gloat. They mock our tears. They do not protest against Hamas. They embrace pure evil.
Quote:To friends who dare justify what has happened, you are not friends. You are nothing but Nazi supporters dressed up in leftist intellectual language. To the Palestinians: you have lost all moral authority to claim victimhood.
