The Hamas rampage killed at least 1,300 Israelis, marking the deadliest Palestinian attack on the Jewish state in its history. Israel has killed at least 1,900 Palestinians in an aerial bombardment of Gaza and gave more than 1 million residents in the northern half of the enclave 24 hours to flee to the south to avoid an onslaught.
Earlier, a pro-Palestinian crowd of hundreds of university students marched from Baruch College in Manhattan to the main gathering in Times Square, holding signs that read: “Resistance is not terrorism!” and “End Israeli apartheid.” The New York Police Department's chief of patrol, John Chell, had told reporters on Thursday that every NYPD officer would “be in uniform” yesterday, ready to quell any disturbances, warning, “We will not tolerate any hate, any acts of disorder.”
Halber said Saturday's attacks had shown that using “equal force” against an enemy like Hamas was ineffective. “Those used to be the days but don't expect the Jewish people ever accept that type of situation ever again,” he said.
