Hamas has taken unknown numbers of hostages and is threatening to record their executions as Israel retaliates.
Nearly a thousand Jews were slaughtered with many more injured, and western leftists celebrate in the name of “decolonization.”
Student groups on college campuses celebrate the attacks, blame Israel, and make campuses unsafe for Jewish students.
