Letter to the editor: The pro-Hamas folks are traitors

With the murder of American hostages by Palestinian Hamas those pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protesters have become traitors. They are giving aid and comfort to the killers of American citizens. They need to take off their cowardly masks and be outed and their enabling professors need to be fired. They have now crossed the line from free speech to sedition.

This from a lifelong liberal Democrat, not some Trumper. Many of us have had enough of their B.S. Their support for a homicidal homophobic society that denigrates women, murders gays, sanctions honor killings, teaches hate and worships martyrs and death over a democratic liberal nation with a racially, religiously and ethnically diverse population which shelters gay people, has equal rights for women, an independent judiciary, free press which criticizes the government, cherishes life over death, teaches tolerance and looks forward and not backward to some medieval world view dominated by sharia law is unforgivable.
