‘Thousands Are Celebrating the Slaughter of Jews’: Leland Vittert Decries Apologists of Israel Attack

NewsNation’s Leland Vittert delivered a powerful monologue about the horrors of the terrorist attacks on Israel and their apologists in the United States on Tuesday night.

In a segment on Vittert’s show On Balance, the host drew comparisons between the actions of Hamas and Nazi Germany while excoriating those making false equivalencies between the outright slaughter of Israeli Jews and the violence now gripping the region as the Israeli military strikes back.

“After the Holocaust, the world said never again. It’s now happening again. And I need to warn you, what you are about to see shows the worst of humanity. And it will make any decent human being uncomfortable, even sick to your stomach. But that’s the point. You need to see it,” began Vittert. “The images we are now seeing of Hamas hunting down Jews, rounding them up and killing them is eerily similar to the images of the Nazis doing the same thing. It’s difficult to say and to show and to look at. But we should. And we will.”

After showing side-by-sides of the Nazis and Hamas holding Jews at gunpoint, Vittert concluded, “If one wasn’t in black and white, it would be very difficult to tell the difference.”

“And yet in cities across America over the weekend and today, across the world as well, pro-Hamas marchers took to the street celebrating the slaughter,” he observed before playing clips of what he described as President Joe Biden and commentators on CNN and MSNBC engaging in faulty both-sidesism.

Then he delivered the kicker:

After the Holocaust, the world said, ‘Never again.’ It’s happening again. Same whataboutism, both sidesism, anti-Semitism that allowed the Holocaust to happen is happening right here in America. And those that preach tolerance and equity and diversity are not only silent, they often support the terrorists. For example, 31 groups at Harvard University put out a statement, quote, ‘Holding the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all the unfolding violence.’ Imagine if a student, much less a group, much less 31 student groups during the Black Lives Matter riots put out a statement holding George Floyd responsible for his own death. They would all be frog marched off campus. Harvard has done nothing to address the groups for celebrating the slaughter of women and children and Harvard’s not alone, there’s a number of universities like that. Speaking of Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter Chicago stands with Palestine they tweeted out today, complete with a paraglider. May I remind you, Hamas used paragliders to attack the music festival and slaughter 260 Israelis. At times, Nazi death squads were less efficient. Hamas just released more footage, actually, of their attacks.

You can imagine Nazis saying ‘Heil Hitler’ when they shot the last Jew in line. Of course, Israel is a far, far away place. But in America right now, thousands are celebrating the slaughter of Jews in Israel. I’m old enough to remember a lot of folks saying that silence is violence. Well, we have seen violence, real violence, and now we have seen the celebration of violence. And now those same people are awfully silent about both.
