Free speech, not hate speech

To the editor:

Since Oct. 7 where over 1,400 jews were massacred at a music festival by Palestinian Hamas terrorists, some in horrific fashion such as babies being burned alive in front of their mothers or had their heads cut off, I’ve been amazed at the number of protests across our county in support of the Hamas terrorists. 

These college students are spoiled entitled brats who’ve been coddled their whole lives by their parents and the system. All they know is what their liberal professors indoctrinate them with day in, day out. Not having any jobs or responsibilities they spend their time just parroting words and phrases they’ve been taught and ripping down pictures of the over 200 hostages Hamas is holding as human shields.

Then in D.C. there was a protest, totally against Israel, where tens of thousands inundated the spaces around the White House where they stormed the gates, defaced them with handprints in red and defaced a statue of LaFayette while shouting “From the river to the sea,” a terrorist phase which calls for the death of all Jews many in the press asked where this great mass of people came from, people who held such hatred for the Jews. 

In a flash I can come up with the answer. In the three years Joe Biden’s been president, we’ve seen eight million illegals invade our southern border, totally unvetted, from well over 150 nations across the world, countries including China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Germany and many more. In just the last year alone, over 150 known terrorists were captured trying to cross. We’ve always had a few in the U.S. who were anti-semitic zealots, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out where all these came from recently. 

We need to achieve a total lockdown of our borders and get to the business of cleaning the rot out of our country, including the leaders of these protests and the professors who’ve stirred everyone up against Israel. 

I believe in free speech, but this is full out hate speech.
