Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks on Israel were "acts of unalloyed hatred of Jews"—the inhumane acts of anti-Semitic terrorists reminiscent of the Einsatsgruppen, Nazi mobile killing units which marched behind the Wehrmacht in World War II to conduct the murder and rape of over a million unarmed civilians, mostly Jews.
