I agree with your Tuesday editorial, and with Israel, that Hamas should be eliminated.
But the worldwide protests and the Biden administration are trying to address the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of children and the displacement of millions of people. A billion or so people are simply supporting common sense and humanity, not Hamas.
It seems disingenuous, at best, to dismiss humanitarian concerns and to equate those concerns with support of terrorists.
