Two days after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel, massacred hundreds of teenagers at a music festival, slaughtered families, kidnapped and raped young women, burned elderly people alive, and allegedly decapitated babies, I received an email from the Harvard Buddhist Community — a student group at Harvard Divinity School, of which I’m a graduate — that said: “we acknowledge and mourn the incalculable violence and suffering of the war on Palestine.”
The war on Palestine? What in the actual …? I read further: the letter didn’t mention anything about the war on Israel and the Jewish people, nor offer compassion to those suffering from Hamas’s brutal attacks. Some Buddhists!
