Israel has killed another terrorist. This time it is Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, one of the masterminds behind the October 7th attacks. Sinwar is considered by many Israelis to be "Gaza's bin Laden."
Sinwar met his demise less than three months after his predecessor Ismail Haniyeh and scarcely three weeks after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Following their deaths there were some in the U.S. and the Western media who saw fit to lionize Haniyeh as a moderate. In the case of Nasrallah, The New York Times attempted to portray him as a champion of equality.
In something of a pre-emptive strike, New York Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres warned the American media not to cast Sinwar as a martyr. Torres wrote on X:
Dear American Media:Please do not eulogize Yahya Sinwar as a "father figure" or a "moral compass" or a "charismatic orator" or an Abrahamic egalitarian fighting for "the equlaity of Muslims, Jews, and Christians." Sinwar's legacy of barbaric bloodlust has been deadly for Israelis and even deadlier for Palestinians. He died as he lived - a monster.Sincerely,Normal Americans
Bravo, Congressman Torres!!! If only there were more like you.
I have no doubt the likes of AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee and other Squad members will mourn for Sinwar as a means to spite Israel's righteous fight against terrorism and those who would seek to eradicate it from the face of the Earth.
Nevertheless, the presence of folks such as Congressman Torres and Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman gives me a small measure of hope for the Democratic Party when it comes to Israel.
