Leftist in US tend to support Hamas mass murders

 National Review:

Near the end of the Minneapolis City Council’s first meeting of the year, Councilwoman Linea Palmisano had a radical idea: In the name of “peace, decency, and love,” the board could encourage unity among its residents with a brief statement in support of “humanity.”

The idea was to recognize and to help heal divisions among city residents on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And then, she suggested, the council should get back to “focusing on matters we have the authority to address as a city.”

And for that, she was resoundingly booed by the raucous gathering of pro-Palestinian activists who had packed the room urging the council to support a cease-fire in Gaza. Among other things, the proposed resolution, which far-left backers have claimed would be the most progressive in the country, accuses Israel of “engaging in collective punishment of Palestinian civilians” and calls for the U.S. to end all military funding to its Middle East ally.

During Palmisano’s brief comments, the activists spoke over her and held cellphones in her face with graphic images. They chastised her for having “privilege” and shamed her for saying that Israel was engaged in a war — in their mind, Israel is engaged in nothing less than genocide.

With nothing but a folding table between her and an “angry mob,” Palmisano said she contemplated an exit strategy if things went sideways. She ended up receiving a police escort out of the building, she told National Review when reached on her cellphone.

Palmisano, a Democrat, called the proposed resolution, and others like it that have been promoted and passed in Democratic-led cities across the country, “divisive.” Pushing the measures, she said, is hurtful to many and is “inviting in chaos.”

If the Minneapolis council does approve its cease-fire resolution, which appears likely, it will join dozens of other cities that have already passed resolutions of their own, including Atlanta; Detroit; San Francisco; Oakland; St. Louis; Seattle; Madison, Wis.; and Akron, Ohio.

And it’s not just city councils getting in on cease-fire action. While the city council in Berkeley, Calif., rejected a resolution in December, the far-left city’s rent-stabilization board passed one. The school board in Ann Arbor, Mich., just passed one, too, according to the New York Times.

Hamas leadership actually called for the genocide of Jews in Israel and the wiping out of the Israeli state.  Hamas started this war with the mass murder of Israeli non-combatants.  Israel's goal in Gaza is to utterly destroy Hamas.  That is quite different from the suggestion that it wants to commit genocide of all Palestinians.  I find it curious that American leftists are siding with Hamas which sought the genocide of Jews by suggesting Israel was guilty of genocide in resisting Hamas.
