In a disturbing scene on Monday evening, pro-Palestinian protesters in Australia chanted "gas the Jews" in a show of support for the massacre perpetrated by terrorists on Saturday. As RedState reported, upwards of a thousand Israelis and others died following the invasion by Hamas terrorists.

Despite the stark visuals provided of the senseless violence, cities across the world erupted in pro-Palestinian protests cheering on what had occurred. That continued in front of the Sydney Opera House as the crowd demanded genocide.

This is the sad reality of the pro-Palestinian movement. Despite proclamations by its more "intellectual" leaders, it ultimately comes down to anti-Semitism. These people don't just want Israel to cease to exist as a nation. They want to finish what the Holocaust started, and they aren't shy about telling you that. 

It's hard to fathom how any human being could be that bloodthirsty. Even if one believes that Israel shouldn't have "settlements" in certain areas, that does not in any way justify mass murder. But again, this isn't really about land for many of the most vocal. It's about killing Jews, and it's been about killing Jews for a very long time. Those people chanting "gas the Jews" are simply an extension of the Nazi cause that Adolf Hitler championed. 

Some might be asking why these protesters are so comfortable showing who they are publicly. The answer is that they know they can get away with it. While Australian and European officials will come after you for using the wrong pronoun online, they aren't going to do anything to people making outright terrorist threats of genocide. The pro-Palestinian cause is considered off-limits for criticism and has been for a very long time. That is the standard set by the international community, no matter how absurd and one-sided it is. 

That's why Israel can't bother with what the UN says or what protesters across the globe chant. They have to do what they have to do. In this case, an overwhelming military response is necessary, and it doesn't look like the war will stop this time until Hamas no longer exists. Israel is never going to put its fate in the hands of others again because the moment they do, there are people like those at these protests ready to exterminate them.
