I'm not Jewish. I have observed support for Hamas and the Hamas attack on Israel in recent weeks. People at a university near where I live were holding banners with images of the Hamas paragliders who massacred Israelis. Other groups have shown similar images. This is support for Hamas.

The history is complicated, but it's not ok to support terrorist attacks. There is a rush to judge Israel by people who know very little about the complicated history of this region.

I feel that, yet again, outsiders who mean us harm are sowing confusion and chaos. We can avoid being taken in. Pause to recognize all victims of terrorist. Pause to recognize the long and horrific history of antisemitism in the world. Don't jump in,
