Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., repeatedly suggested a leading Arab American activist is a Hamas supporter when she testified Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on hate crimes, and he told her she should hide her “head in a bag.”
The activist, Maya Berry, said repeatedly that she did not support Hamas and was “disappointed” by the minuteslong exchange toward the end of a hearing called “A Threat to Justice Everywhere: Stemming the Tide of Hate Crimes in America.”
Disavowing Hamas is entirely pointless. Racists will accuse you of being Hamas no matter what.
When the entire population of Palestine is described as “Hamas”, all “Condemning Hamas” amounts to is blaming civilians for their own massacre. It’s just racist people demanding you be as racist as they are before they let you speak.
Besides that, supporting Hamas is the only moral position.
You’d think every libertarian weirdo out there would be 101% on board with Hamas. Their existence is the end product of what happens when the government takes all peaceful options off the table: you must be prepared to do violence, because there is no other choice but death.
