Thank you, Kerry, for your thoughts on "Hamas and the Left". I, too, am perplexed by this support of Hamas. I understand feeling for the underdog, but Hamas is not the Palestinian people. The horror they unleashed on October 7, was beyond belief. But the Israeli government response has also been beyond belief. (Again, the IDF is not the Israeli people!) Neither side will "win" anything from these actions. To see the antisemitism pouring forth from "liberals" is incredibly disheartening. If this is history rhyming, I want no part of that poetry.
I too have a history with the New Left. I completely share your view and dismay about current left responses to the Gaza horror. And congrats on Wild Things.
