NEW YORK — The New York Post, the paper with the largest daily circulation in the city, printed a special 12-page supplement wrapped around its Oct. 7 edition marking one year since Hamas’ Jew-hating pogrom in Israel.
This powerful supplement can be used to help explain why working people need to support Israel’s right — and need — to defend the safety of a refuge for Jews. Together with the Pathfinder book The Fight Against Jew-Hatred and Pogroms in the Imperialist Epoch: Stakes for the International Working Class it can help explain why this is a central question for the working class everywhere.
The front and back cover of the supplement has the pictures of 91 of the remaining 101 hostages (including four kidnapped a decade ago) still being held by Hamas in atrocious conditions. Less than 70 are believed still alive today.
The supplement describes how if the reactionary regime in Tehran — which is the dominant force behind Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and the so-called axis of resistance — is successful, it would lead to a modern-day Holocaust and the destruction of Israel.
The Post supplement accurately depicts how the White House keeps putting pressure on Israel to try to prevent it from taking the decisive action needed to dismantle Hamas and Hezbollah and prevent Tehran from getting nuclear weapons.
It includes interviews with former hostages, family members of those still being held, and an article about Hamas head Yahya Sinwar titled “Mastermind’s only goal: Kill all Jews.”
