Columnist and commentator Peggy Noonan believes that “Cynicism is not realistic and tough – it’s unrealistic and kind of cowardly because it means you don’t have to try.”

The majority of the more than 11,000 dead on both sides of the Israel-Hamas war have been civilians, which is tragic, but also the case in all wars that we know of, at least in modern times. Consider that the civilian death toll in World War II is estimated at 38 million. And, like previous wars, this one enlists a lot of propaganda, by Hamas, trying to portray Israel as the bad guys when they, Hamas, started the conflict by killing 1400 Israeli innocents and then they use their own people as human shields increasing the civilian death toll that they then blame on Israel.

According to the FBI’s annual crime report, homicides in 2022 remained 25% above the 2019 level. Meanwhile carjackings and other property crimes have risen. In the nation’s capital, where murders are up 38% this year, and shoplifters are now crashing cars into stores to gain entry for mass looting. That’s not a perception, that’s a reality.

John Gardner could have been talking about Washington when he observed that “Most ailing organizations have developed a functional blindness to their own defects. They are not suffering because they cannot resolve their problems, but because they cannot see their problems.”

The ongoing protests against Israel’s campaign to destroy Hamas is about as wrongheaded as you can get. Yes, there are Palestinian civilian casualties. But that tragedy is largely the fault of Hamas who continues to hide behind their own people, even using hospitals as shields for their operations. And to hear some of our elected officials joining with protestors using the rallying cry “From the River to the Sea”, which is a call for the extermination of Israel, is beyond the pale.
