The Issue: Michael Goodwin’s piece on Americans’ defense of Hamas’ attack on Israeli citizens.
There actually is an answer to Michael Goodwin’s rhetorical question: “When did it become OK to defend the slaughter of Jewish children?” (“Scar of David,” Oct. 15).
The answer is Nazi Germany in the 1940s. Consider the 1.5 million Jewish children who were gassed or shot by Third Reich fanatics in the name of ethnic cleansing.
The Hamas murderers are the Nazis of today.

Goodwin asks: “When did it become OK to defend the slaughter of Jewish children?”
The reverse is also true. When did it become acceptable to defend the slaughter of Palestinian children? Both are equally innocent.

It’s amazing that these once-revered universities have become nothing more than breeding grounds of stupidity, ignorance, violence and antisemitism.
President Franklin Roosevelt refused a ship of Jews fleeing the Nazis, but Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, told the United States to film the death camps to prevent Holocaust deniers and history from repeating itself.
It’s obvious these morons at Ivy League institutions are not getting their money’s worth.
I hope none of these idiots are hired down the road and their hatred and ignorance follow them through employment. Youth is not an excuse for not knowing good from evil.

It should surprise no one that students at our so-called elite universities are not only hateful but are dangerously ignorant as well.
After all, traditional liberal education where students actually learned to read, write and think critically has been replaced by a progressive agenda that merely seeks to brainwash and divide students in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion.
This self-defeating fraud, promoted by the left and supported by the Democrats, has infected our public schools and institutions, and we are now witnessing the fallout.
At a time when young people should be left to think for themselves and become free-thinking, independent adults, they are shackled by the left-wing lunatic crap their teachers and professors have been serving up to them for years.

Goodwin’s piece is timely, accurate and thought-provoking. But it does not ask what happens next for those who make their sympathies clear regarding Hamas.
With three years of uncontrolled borders and cartels trafficking in people, drugs and weapons, are jihadi cadres ready to become “operational” here?
And when they do become operational, will they have a permissive environment because of organizations like Democratic Socialist of America, Black Lives Matter, Boycott, Divest & Sanction and other hard left-organizations and movements?
Do we have such an environment now, in which aid and comfort will be given by too many to jihadists whose fondest wish is to butcher as many as they can?

Kudos for Goodwin’s piece. When did the Israeli children ask to be born Jewish? Or have the intent to oppress the terrorists who so brutally murdered and defiled them?
To quote Marshal of the Royal Air Force Arthur Harris, “They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.” Clean out the cowardly rats from Gaza’s tunnels.

The reaction of CUNY students and other students nationwide to the despicable Hamas attack is sickening.
To celebrate the killing of babies and women is abhorrent, and it does not bode well for the future of America.
Is this going to lead to any political solution on the West Bank? Not at all. It merely reinforces that there is no one with whom to negotiate.
The students who support this are the anarchists and anti-American agitators of tomorrow.
