This week, I spoke at the University at Buffalo by invitation of its Young Americans for Freedom chapter. Protesters gathered outside to condemn the hate speech I was apparently about to deliver to students.
The title of my speech? “Pro-Hamas is pro-genocide.” This should be the least controversial statement of all time. This statement is obviously true. The Hamas attack on Oct. 7 sought the mass murder of as many Jews as possible. The terrorist group’s 1988 charter describes their “struggle against the Jews” as “very great and very serious.” It references a quote by the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it.” Moreover, following the Oct. 7 attacks, Hamas official Ghazi Hamad called for the annihilation of Israel. He stated that “on Oct. 7, Oct. 10, Oct. 1,000,000 — everything [Hamas] do is justified.”
