Imagine losing a loved one who was walking down the street, boarding a bus, eating in a restaurant, or in any other way just living their lives in a free democratic society. Imagine that the terrorist responsible was captured, tried, convicted, and put away. And imagine that now, that terrorist is not only free, but being hailed as a hero — and vowing to carry out more attacks.
This is happening as Israel gives up large numbers of terrorists in exchange for many fewer Israeli hostages. In all the coverage of the cease fire deal between Israel and Hamas, have you seen families of people killed by the terrorists who are being released? Where are their voices?
In this episode of They Stand Corrected, I talk you through who some of these victims were, and who the terrorists are. News media should be telling you about the atrocities they committed.
I mention a case that hits home for me, involving the murder of Matt Eisenfeld, whom I went to college with. He and his girlfriend Sarah Duker were killed in a bus bombing. I also mention this terrific thread from Eitan Fischburger on X.
Plus, hear from a comedian who calls out haters on the right and the left. He’s Josh Howie, who took on the Nazi salutes at so-called “peace marches” in a segment for GB News and this piece for Spiked. He could teach the hosts of U.S. political comedy shows how to be morally consistent.
In this discussion, I mention the crowd chanting “heil Hitler” while holding Palestinian flags at an Olympic game (video via the Simon Wiesenthal Center). And while some organizers of “pro-Palestinian” riots like to claim that they reject Nazism, people who use Nazi imagery are regularly given a free pass at these events. And if your events keep attracting Nazis, you’re on the wrong side.
