This is a moment when all people of good will must stand up against the spirit of Satan. I mean that in a figurative sense, of course, but one need not be a religious believer to perceive something diabolical in the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.

I’m just a guy living in northwest Indiana, and you may well ask what the hell I know. Well, I’m 74 years of age and I’ve lived through some history, which I remember. As a matter of fact, my high school senior prom coincided with the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Later on I was a United States soldier and saw a few things. In fact, I wore the uniform for 28 years. Along the way I obtained a BA and an MA in history. All that experience and education lead me to the conclusion that whatever the rights and wrongs of history, the slaughter carried out by Hamas demands an iron-handed response. Let’s hope so.
