What happened over a week ago in Israel will force Democrats, BLM supporters, Liberal DEI advocates, et al to take a hard look at their own hypocrisy.
If anything was a challenge to the rest of the civilized world, it was the grotesque, inhumane, horrific, in-your-face disregard for human life, dignity, or civility that we are witnessing in real time.
Equally disturbing is the rate a which the same people, in this Country are making strides in rationalising those acts as if there could be any justification for acting like a ravaging animal with no conscience.
They will force lines to be drawn and sides to be taken in their quest to further tear down what we used to regard as moral absolutes.
I hope we don't take the bait or fall into that trap. If we can't clearly stand against what HAMAS is doing, we are truly lost.
