The CEO of the leftist Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was on MSNBC this morning he and blasted them for referring to Hamas terrorists as “fighters” and rationalizing their terror attacks on Israel this weekend.

Normally I wouldn’t say this but Jonathan Greenblatt’s comments below are definitely worth a listen:

Here’s part of what he said:

I’ll be honest. I am angry with a world that allowed the dehumanization of Israelis and sanitized the terrorism of Hamas. I must say I love this show and I love this network. But I’ve got to ask, who is writing the scripts? Hamas – the people who did this are not fighters. They are not militants… They are terrorists! It is a barbarian who rapes and brutalizes women, who kills children in front of their parents and then brings them over to Gaza… These weren’t just reports. These were filmed gleefully by the barbarians who committed these grotesque crimes…

So look. When we say, well this was an escalation, it was bound to happen – I am sorry. This was a massacre that was preplanned. This was not destined to happen. It is not normal to shoot teenagers in the back, hundreds of them. I just think – like guys, get the story right. And all these pictures of missiles and the rubble in Gaza. Please talk to the Israeli mothers and fathers who lost their children. Talk to the grandchildren who grandparents were seized as hostages. And please stop calling this a retaliation. This is a defensive measure against an organization that is committed to one thing, killing Jews. Not a peaceful resolution of a conflict, but murdering Jews.

Far be it from me to completely agree with a former Obama lackey on an issue like this, but he’s on the money here.
