VOICE OF THE JEWISH NEWS: A message to the humane world

Hamas has raped to death the young and live-streamed the murder of the old. Hamas has cut the heads off babies. Hamas has slaughtered entire families in their homes. Hamas has kidnapped tiny children.

Now Hamas boasts it will publicly execute the kidnapped. Yet some people who consider themselves moral still say Israel is the bad guy?

Some people who have spent their lives imagining they’d have been on the right side of the Holocaust.

But where are they now when our children are being slaughtered in numbers not seen since the Nazis?

Where are the celebrities who love to jump on the bandwagon for every fashionable cause?

Where is the music industry’s reaction to the horrors at a music festival that became a rape and slaughterhouse?

To all who have stayed silent – or sought to draw loathsome false equivalence – as marauding psychopaths butcher Jews, ask yourself. Who are you?

Why are media outlets using the word ‘militant’ to describe baby killers?

And where the hell is the unambiguous revulsion from other faith groups?

As London Mayor Sadiq Khan told us this week, it shouldn’t be difficult for anyone, anyone at all, to condemn medieval barbarism – not even inflicted by ISIS – while still supporting the Palestinian cause.

Hamas is not representative of Muslims or Islam. So speak out, publicly, and urge others to.

Now. For the sake of your own humanity.

British Jews will be forever grateful that the prime minister and senior politicians have stood with us in this darkest hour.

We will forever recall how iconic buildings were lit up in the colours of the Israeli flag and the Archbishop of Canterbury spoke in such clear terms.

We will forever remember the uncompromising stance of some of the media’s biggest household names.

But…

To all who have stayed silent – or sought to draw loathsome false equivalence – as marauding psychopaths butcher Jews, ask yourself.

Who are you? Who are you?
