Slogan: "Resistance by any means necessary”

Saying that Hamas has the right to resist by any means necessary is effectively a justification of the barbaric actions of Oct. 7, including the murder and kidnapping of babies, the elderly, men, women and children – as well as other forms of terrorism used against Israel – including suicide bombings, shootings, stabbings and rocket fire directed at civilian population centers.   Whatever one’s view of Israeli policies and the Palestinian condition, support for violence, especially the type of attacks we witnessed on Oct. 7, are immoral and abhorrent, and can never be justified.
