“Not all Palestinians are Hamas” – How Group Identity Is Conveniently Ignored Or Used By The Left

It has become cliche to note that the past year and a half has been a clarifying time for independent thinkers. I will note it again anyways.
During the most recent murderous wave of attacks by the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, anti-Israeli sentiment was both vocal and prominent. As if we needed more proof that leftism melts people’s both brains and moral compasses, the anti-Semitism offered a chilling reminder that evil persists because stupidity is so commonplace. There is a very appropriate quote that I heard from Dennis Prager that states “God must love useful idiots, because he created a lot of them.” Indeed.
In the morally and intellectually indefensible defense of Hamas, critics of Israeli military responses levied the charge that the Jewish state was killing innocent children and civilians. Surely not every Palestinian living in Gaza, they argue, is affiliated with Hamas; therefore, the deaths of children is unwarranted and murderous in its own way. Yes, it is true that children were dying in the conflict and it is surely true that not every Palestinian is part of Hamas. That is the fault of Hamas. It is also beside the point.
