Why Do Americans, UN Support Hamas Terrorists?
Why are Americans not united in condemning the sickening murder and brutality of the Hamas terrorists, demanding the release of the now estimated 130 hostages they still hold, which include six U.S. citizens?
How could our country abstain in the recent United Nations Security Council vote demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, with no condemnation of Hamas terrorism and with no demand of unilateral release by Hamas of the hostages they hold?
What is the disconnect that can explain the absence of uniform support among Americans for clear-cut action by Israel to defend itself against brutal terrorists, committed to the destruction of its state and homeland?
Freedom House is a nonpartisan Washington, D.C.-based organization that issues an annual report of the state of freedom around the world.
Freedom House, in this annual report, grades countries worldwide regarding the extent to which they are free. Per Freedom House's methodology, each country is graded on a scale of 1-100, based on political rights and civil liberties in that country.
In the Middle East region, there is only one country that Freedom House scores as free -- Israel.
