"J. Pharoah Doss: Examining the Far-Left's Defense of the Palestinian Narrative"

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants launched a brutal assault on Israel from Gaza, resulting in over a thousand Israeli casualties and 200 hostages taken. Far-left groups held pro-Palestine rallies, often endorsing Hamas despite ignoring its history of violence. This political stance, however, overlooked rising anti-Hamas protests within Gaza. As civilian tolls rose, critics claimed Israel’s response was disproportionate, yet they failed to advocate for hostage releases. Recent polls reveal mixed support for Hamas, countering narratives of its overwhelming backing in Palestinian territories.
