Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently said that there was no “equivalency between the democratically elected leaders of Israel and the bloodthirsty terrorists.' He is partly right. The last time Gazans had the luxury of voting was in 2006. Gazans are victims twice-over: of Hamas authoritarian rule, and of collective punishments by Israel. Being a democracy doesn’t preclude bloodthirsty terrorism.
While it’s a given that Hamas leaders are monsters, what can be said about those responsible for blocking food, water, and medical aid to Gaza? And of those who decided to launch a military campaign into Rafah knowing full well that there is no safe place for civilians to evacuate? This isn’t the first time a democratically elected government has committed crimes against humanity. Genocide was how the West was won for America, a democracy since its inception.
