Much as with the German American Bund in the 1930s, holding Nazi rallies in New York and other Eastern cities, we're going to have to start fighting back against these racist scum who apologize for Hamas. Not physically - that plays into their strategy. No, identify them. Hold them accountable. I guess that comes close to "cancel culture," but it was a legitimate tool in the 1930s and it remains one today. If you want to advocate for racist BS, be ready to own it. No more wearing a mask to the protest on Saturday, then rolling into your normal life on Monday.

I think that the best thing to do is wear them out. I'll go toe to toe with any of these rascals.

Imagine if the Allies in WW2 had to face this idea that they were bad for using overwhelming force against the Japanese Empire and Nazi Germany.

We do now when crybabies weep buckets over Hiroshima and Nagasaki but never remember Pearl Harbor or the massacre of Nanking.

I mock them. And we need to mock the Hamas apologists

The Israeli's have every right to destroy Hamas, but they are creating new terrorist by the 10,000s with their present approach. The Palestinians in Gaza that resisted Hamas, likely were murdered like Germans that resisted the Nazis.

To kill a monster, one must not become a monster.
