As hundreds of rockets originating from Gaza continue to strike Israel, Ben Shapiro makes it clear that the “moral equivalence” argument is a farce made by individuals who in actuality are opposed to Israel.
Israel is being attacked by terrorists firing hundreds of rockets at civilian areas. The terrorists care so little about their own citizens that their rockets hit their own people. Israel is retaliating by specifically targeting terrorists. Yet the world draws moral equivalence.

If you consider it morally abhorrent for a white supremacist terrorist to target Jews for death, you should consider Hamas and Islamic Jihad the same way. Yet many do not, which certainly speaks to their lack of seriousness about Jew-hatred.

He calls out those who instead of being outraged by the attacks on and suffering of innocent people, use it for their own political gain.
By and large, the Jeremy Corbyn Left, the New York Times editorial board, the sophisticates at western universities treat Jew-hatred differently based on the source of the Jew-hatred. Which means Jewish blood is a political tool for them, not a problem.

Spare me the crocodile tears about Chabad of Poway or Tree of Life if you’re now making excuses for Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

To close, contrast two videos. The first is a video from Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – of Jews aboard an El Al flight to Israel. The plane is flying above Germany, and the pilot is explaining that all of his grandparents died in the camps.

Then he talks about the miracle of a plane with a Jewish star flying over Berlin. The whole plane breaks out into song: “The whole world is a very narrow bridge and the important thing is not to be afraid.” pic.twitter.com/oo2wspuZ2E

The second video is from last night. It is the reaction of Palestinians in the streets to Hamas rockets falling on civilian Jews. pic.twitter.com/8UKJal77Eo

Quite a contrast.
Anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism. It always was and it always will be. And those who provide cover for it are complicit in it.

The scenes and destruction are real.

The IDF says more than 600 rockets have been fired at Israel in the past day and a half.
?MORE: Air-raid sirens sounding in southern Israel. Over 600 rockets have been fired at Israeli civilians in the last 36 hours.

As a result, Israel defends itself.
We just targeted Hamed Ahmed Khudari, a Gazan terrorist responsible for transferring Iranian funds to Hamas & PIJ in Gaza, helping fund their rocket fire at Israelis.
Transferring Iranian money to Hamas & the PIJ doesn’t make you a businessman. It makes you a terrorist. pic.twitter.com/WvGEB16r4h

PRECISION STRIKE: Earlier today, we targeted Hamed Ahmed Khudari in Gaza. He was responsible for transferring Iranian money to Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The funds were used to build the hundreds of rockets recently fired at Israel. Iran will need to find a new money man in Gaza. pic.twitter.com/2mv1oXLaB7
