On October 7, the world was shocked, angered, and saddened to learn that a small army of barbarians living like sardines in a 25-mile stretch of desert broke through Israel’s usually impenetrable southern border and killed more than a thousand Jewish civilians.
But the emotion that seemed to take up the most real estate in Western hearts was moral shock at the animalistic brutality of the Hamas terrorists. It didn’t matter how harmless the Jews they came across were, or that they posed no physical threat. Hamas killed them. The few they let live were taken hostage.
