Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness, Nov. 27, 2023 “For all the boasts about loving death, it was Hamas who cowardly murdered the unarmed, scampered back to the safety of their tunnels, and used their own kindred Gazans to shield them from death—delivered to them by supposed nerds who love life too much.”   We know […]
