(Ynet News) Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities President Prof. David Harel wrote to academic leaders from prestigious institutions around the world: I am writing to you in the midst of the most devastating time Israel has experienced in many, many years. Many of you have sent us letters of condolence and support, and some of you also issued public statements condemning the barbaric, atrocious attack we underwent. However, there are those who view the Hamas attack as merely "another round" in an ongoing battle between Israel and its enemies. Some statements even make embarrassing attempts to portray things as being symmetric, asking "all sides" to refrain from hostilities. This is not merely "another round" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Hamas is a vicious terrorist organization of the worst possible kind, and, like ISIS, cannot be allowed to exist as such. On Oct. 7, Hamas carried out a broad, carefully planned attack, targeting men, women, children, babies and seniors - all within Israel. This inhuman and horrifically violent attack clearly amounts to a crime against humanity. I find it hard to understand or sympathize with anyone exhibiting support for, or indifference to such a terror organization as Hamas and what they did on Oct. 7. Hamas must be prevented from being able to launch any such attacks in the future, ever.
