They made no effort to conceal it. In fact, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/start-war-recapping-attacks-israel-past-weekend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slaughtered<\/a> Jews \u2064and posted \u200bvideos\u200b of it to social \u2064media.<\/p>\n<p>Krassenstein insisted that \u2064the people who \u2063attended that Dearborn rally\u200d loved only peace and \u200bjustice.

If a speaker cannot even acknowledge as much \u2014 if the speaker reverts to the sort of vague professions of\u200c peace in which Adolf\u200d Hitler always indulged right before he recited \u200ba list of German grievances and then invaded another country \u2014 \u2063then decent \u2063people must judge the speaker insincere \u200bin his professed love of\u2064 peace and\u2062 justice.<\/p>\n<p>Oppression, where \u2064it exists, justifies \u2062resistance. It does not justify indiscriminate slaughter.<\/p>\n<p>In the Marxist worldview, however, ends do justify means. The world divides, neatly and conveniently, into oppressors and oppressed.<\/p>\n<p>BLM openly professes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/marxist-blm-co-founder-bought-4-homes-rejects-hypocrisy-says-supporting-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marxism<\/a>.\u2064 It shares this\u2063 view with\u2063 Hamas and with everyone who regards Gestapo-like terror as \u2063excused, if not justified, by oppression.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that this pro-Hamas rally occurred\u2063 in Michigan only \u200dheightens our urgency.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it does not mean heightened fear or fear-mongering\u200d of any kind. Krassenstein \u2064was right about Palestinians who do not\u2064 support \u2062Hamas. \u2063We must acknowledge\u2062 them, pray for them and resist all efforts to rationalize or\u2064 even perpetuate their suffering.<\/p>\n<p>The urgency stems from\u200c BLM\u2064 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lindsey-graham-calls-strikes-iran-hamas-crosses-red-line\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas<\/a> supporters \u2064openly embracing Marxist excuses or \u2064justifications for violence against innocents.

While freedom of speech is a fundamental right \u2062in democratic societies, the support for a group like Hamas, which \u2063has been designated \u200das a terrorist organization by the \u200dUnited\u200c States and other countries,\u2063 raises concerns about the underlying ideologies of the rally attendees.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 speaker&#8217;s assertion that Hamas is not a terrorist organization\u200d and the \u2063applause that followed suggest a level of sympathy and \u200bsupport for a group that has been\u2064 responsible for countless acts \u200bof violence, including rocket attacks against Israeli civilians. Such glorification of Hamas undermines the genuine aspirations for\u200b peace and deters efforts towards a negotiated solution to the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>The rally&#8217;s focus on\u2063 Benjamin \u200bNetanyahu, \u200bthe Israeli Prime Minister, as\u200c the purported terrorist and the government&#8217;s condemnation further reveals a one-sided perspective that fails\u200c to acknowledge the complexities of the ongoing conflict. It is essential to recognize that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is multifaceted, with both sides contributing to the cycle of \u200cviolence and \u200csuffering.<\/p>\n<p>The waving of Palestinian flags and chants calling for a free \u2064Palestine demonstrate the strong emotional\u200d attachment and solidarity towards the Palestinian cause. However, it is crucial to navigate these \u2063sentiments and \u200cadvocate for a peaceful resolution that acknowledges the rights and aspirations of\u2062 both \u200cIsraelis and Palestinians. An approach that fosters dialogue, mutual understanding, and respect for the principles of international law is necessary to break the cycle of violence and achieve\u2062 a just and lasting peace.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker&#8217;s attempt \u200bto contrast the support for\u2063 Palestine at Black Lives \u2062Matter rallies with the presence of Israeli flags at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/massive-pro-palestinian-rally-in-us-theater-erupts-in-cheers-when-speaker-defends-hamas\/\" title=\"Huge US rally erupts in cheers as speaker supports Hamas.\">white supremacy\u200c rallies oversimplifies<\/a> the situation and perpetuates \u2064a \u200bbinary \u2063narrative.
