Letter from Richard Sherman, Florida to Columbia Spectator (Oct. 14, 2025): Protesters' "Deafening Silence" Reveals True Aim—Hamas to Erase Israel

Since 10/8/23  college demonstrators -- students, professors and administrators-- across America screamed that all they wanted was the for the war that Hamas started on 10/7  against the Jewish people to end so that no more lives would be lost, and the Jews who were kidnapped and being tortured by Joseph Mengele wannabes aka Hamas would be released. ("Institute of Global Politics Hosts Webinar Panel on Gaza Ceasefire Deal").

Anyone who believes that calumny today is standing on line to buy the Brooklyn Bridge because THE DEMONSTRATOR'S SILENCE NOW IS DEAFENING.

Where are all those demonstrators --students, professors and administrators -  now celebrating a cease fire that at least temporarily ends the killing and allows the release of 20 Bergen Belsen treated  Jewish kidnapped survivors?  Where are the celebratory encampments?

NOWHERE!

NOWHERE!

NOWHERE because those demonstrators, proving that they embrace Article 7 of the Hamas charter which demands the murder of every Jew on earth, are disgusted that the Jew killing has even been temporarily interrupted and those 20 kidnapped and tortured Jews were not murdered as the Hamas charter demands. Any words that they may have uttered to the contrary since 10/7 are proven utterly mendacious by their deafening silence  Their silence demonstrating their disgust at a cease fire that interrupts the genocidal Jew killing that began on October 7 is deafening.

Their deafening silence leaves no doubt the demonstrators' "interest in peace" is just part  the Arab's formal koranic rejectionism of Jews in the Middle East since 1937.
