But instead, its leaders have chosen to fund terrorism, incite their population against peace with Israel and reject peace offers made by Israel. Before long, Khouri began making a false moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, the genocidal terrorist group which intentionally targets innocent people for murder. Consequently, Israel seeking to degrade Hamas’ capabilities to kill is somehow comparable to Hamas’ indiscriminate murder of 1,400 innocent Israelis on October 7. Since Hamas’ mega terrorist attack in early October, multiple media outlets have fallen into the lazy trap of comparing Hamas’ murders with Israel’s attempts to defend itself. Please refer to the program’s October 15 broadcast interview with Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson, a Palestinian-Canadian and a Jewish-Canadian, respectively, who accused Israel of oppressing Palestinians and who morally equated Israel & Hamas.
