The Herald did the alternative.

Sure, that footage is barbaric. Ladies and infants are burned past recognition. They have been alive earlier than Hamas terrorists — armed with glistening-new AK-47s — tortured them in what’s a recurring nightmare with out finish.
Greta used her international platform as a local weather warrior to cheapen the horror by turning away. She, like so many others on campus right here in Boston and within the streets, dismissed a day that may really reside in infamy.
The anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, simply handed; 9/11 will come quickly, as will Oct. 7. What transpired on every day must not ever be forgotten.
You may’t flip away! Greta, at 22, is a younger lady with rather a lot to study. However she missed a chance so many others have failed to understand. The Hamas assault, underwritten by Iran, is an assault that can’t go unchallenged. Now the harmless are paying for the sins of some, however Oct. 7 was Hell on Earth.

What would she say in regards to the Hamas terrorist seen on these clips calling his dad and mom in Gaza to gleefully report their son is a “hero?” The mother and pop started crying. Why?
