example of that double standard, when many of those anti-Israeli folks not only couldn't bring themselves to condemn what happened, but some even took great pains to justify it.

The march in NY by the Democratic Socialists of America actually praising the actions of hamas for the rapes, torture, and killings was deplorable, with some outlets pushing that it wasn't as bad as what happened.

It was disgusting.

The willful ignorance of some regarding the history of the Israeli/Palestinian issue is astounding.
