I am asking if any Democrat agrees that the massacre of 1400 innocent Jews was the single-worst bigotry theyāve seen in their lives.
You avoid the question, and criticize me. Naturally.
Congratulations. Youāve successfully turned an atrocity into a political litmus test and again here we go heading another who-has-it-worst Olympic event.
What Hamas did was unspeakable. It was 9/11. Hamas is no different than ISIS.
But here is what has happened in my lifetime.
Hamas brutally killed, tortured, raped, burned alive 1400 men, women and children. Little babies were riddled with bullets. The dust has yet to settle.
Iām 63. What else has happened in 63 years?
Darfour: since 2003, Janjaweed, an extremist government sponsored militia has conducted a campaign of genocide leaving an estimated 400,000 dead and millions displaced.
Myanmar: the Buddhist majority conducted a systematic campaign to eradicate the Muslim Rohinga minority. The Rohinga were forced into concentration camps, some 700,000 were driven out or fled. 25,000 were killed, including being burned alive in their houses, babies thrown into bonfires, women and girls brutally gang raped.
Isis: where do you even begin with Isis? The Yazidi, a tiny religious minority. Isis sought to deliberately exterminate them. Those that werenāt slaughtered were forced into sexual slavery or conscripted as child soldiers.
Rwanda: 1994, the Rwandan genocide. The ethnic Hutu conducted a premeditated campaign to exterminate the ethnic Tutsi. They slaughtered some 400,000 people (a tenth of the entire Tutsi population) with machetes before they were stopped.
Bosnia/Herzegovina: over 200,000 Bosnian Muslims were systematically slaughtered by Serbs.
In all of these examples there was no sparing of women or children, rape, even of children was a common āweaponā of war, and the deaths were brutal. In each case, the attacks were against an ethnic or religious minority.
