The West’s bias against Arabs and Muslims reared its ugly head again last week, when the second anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel was marked.
American politicians of every stripe and every rank, from the president to local municipal trustees, expressed grave sympathy for the victims of the violence that claimed 1,200 Israeli lives. Yet, while the killing of those 1,200 Israelis was a heinous crime, the outpouring of sympathy was undermined by the absence of any regret for the killing by Israeli forces of a far greater number of Palestinians, nearly 70,000, over the past two years.
The hypocritical way the tragedy suffered by the Israelis and the terrorism of Hamas is treated compared to the greater, suppressed tragedy inflicted on the Palestinians by Israeli authorities is absolutely outrageous.
Palestinian deaths are demeaned and that in turn demeans the tragedy of the Israelis killed on Oct. 7. But pro-Israel advocates do not seem to care about the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. It is a movement of hate that seeks to further undermine Palestinians’ right to justice.
