I am at a loss for words. How can anyone legitimize or support the behavior of these anti-Israeli, antisemitic, pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah, and now, pro-Hitler hordes? I wish that every politician had the moral clarity on this issue that Mayor Eric Andrews of NYC displays in this video from earlier today commenting upon yesterday's pro-Hamas, pro-Hitler, anti-Jewish "protest" at the Nova Music Festival commemorative exhibit. It is time for decent people to break their silence and speak up and declare that this behavior is unacceptable. It is hate speech of a type that we have heard from no other group in America, toward no other group in America. These people apparently have no concern for their souls, no fear of God, and no regard for life, including their own. I suspect we have the only sitting President in my 65-year lifetime that will not empower law enforcement to take decisive actions against these criminals. (Calling for the death of all Jews is a Federal and State crime in all 50 states.) It is time for decent people to break their silence and call upon their Congresspeople and this Presidential Administration to take actions to quell this civil insurrection before death counts of innocent passerbys start escalating here in the United States. #StopTheInsanityNow #NovaMusicFestivalExhibition #HateCrime #NYCMayorEricAndrewsSetsExcellentExample
