Dennis Prager argues that confronting evil, like Hamas and Muslim regimes, takes courage, while attacking the good like America and Israel is safer. He claims the left mocks Christians without risk but fears mocking Muslims because of potential violence, making criticism of the good a cowardly choice.
Those who don't fight evil fight good. Not fighting evil— if, if you don't think of Hamas as the quintessence of evil monsters, and if you don't fight them, what you end up doing is fighting the good. You're fighting America, you fight Israel. It's, it's a perverse part of the human— of human nature, and I can't quite figure it out, except that it's a lot easier to fight the good than to fight the bad. That's a big part of it. You're not going to get hurt if you fight, as it were. I don't even mean in violence, just fight verbally. If you fight America, if you fight Christians, who's going to hurt you? But if you fight Muslim regimes or Muslims— and I'm not speaking about all Muslims, I always have to make that clear for the people who don't wish to listen to what turns out to be morally true. Yes, you can mock, you can mock Christians, nothing will happen to you. You mock Muslims, you may die, as many have. So it takes courage to fight evil. It takes no courage to fight the good. So that's what the left is. The left is— will fight good. It's going to happen. Is it really, is it really going to hurt you? A Jew? Yeah, well-known Jewish violence in America. I got a lot of issues with my fellow Jews, but violence is not one of them.
