The current brawl over Hamas attacking Israel is a worldwide basket of contention. At the heart of it is violence reaped upon innocent people. But deciding exactly who is "innocent" is extremely difficult.

The civilians murdered by Hamas in early October certainly were victims. As were those murdered on 9/11. No debate; that's the truth.

But what about the Palestinian voters who have embraced the terrorists and rejected the more rational Palestinian Authority?

Support for Hamas in Gaza is almost 60 percent. Are those who enable terrorism innocent? No, they are not.

In Afghanistan, the brutal Taliban regained power because individual Afghani citizens did not stand against them. This despite twenty years of American support.

Do I feel sorry for the average Afghani? No, I do not.

Back home, in the state of Illinois, fanatical leftist J. B. Pritzker was elected Governor in 2019. Despite incredible violence in Chicago, Pritzker has made things worse by championing an insane no-bail law.

Hundreds of thousands are moving out of Illinois, and I feel bad for them. But not for the folks who back J. B., which stands for "just bad."

There comes a point where people get the government they deserve.

Harsh but true.

See you this evening for the No Spin News.
