Podcast host Joe Weiss said that Hamas' actions against Israel were some of the worst offenses against the Jewish people since the events of the second World War.
“To equate what Israel is doing in defense of itself with what Hamas did on October 7th,” Weiss told host Jansons on the Lake Forest podcast. “Anybody that makes that comparison or equation has no idea what they're talking about.”
“October 7th was the worst attack on Jews since World War II,” Weiss said. “A thousand civilians were killed, and I think 1,200 have been killed since.”
