I always assumed the anniversary of Hamas’s Oct. 7 pogrom in southern Israel would get ugly. Too many in the anti-Israel crowd either don’t believe it happened, or believe the death toll was exaggerated, or think it was a false-flag event. And of course there are some who seem pretty much OK with what actually happened.

“How beautiful is the spirit to get free that Palestinians literally learned how to fly on hang gliders,” all-purpose activist Harsha Walia famously told a crowd in Vancouver two days after Hamas slaughtered some 800 Israeli civilians and took hundreds hostage — scores of whom are still unaccounted for.
