    15 Reasons Liberal US Jews Shouldn’t Be Shocked by Fellow Leftists’ Siding With Hamas

    Left-wing American Jews feel betrayed by the Left.

    The Hamas Slaughter Confirmed Everything I Have Believed

    With one exception, nothing about Oct. 7 surprised me. The one exception was Israel’s unpreparedness. That also surprised nearly every Israeli.

Not the butchery; not the sadism;…
