The attacks were pure evil. Callous, barbaric, murder. I was going to say it was indiscriminate but it wasn't, they intentionally targeted the weakest and most innocent people as well.
And today there are Jewish Schools in London not opening out of fear and they will be attacked by people celebrating what happened. It's antisemitism pure and simple.

Facts are absolutely important if they’re going to make their way onto front pages around the world to achieve some kind of moral authority for war crimes in Gaza.
Nobody - anywhere - is defending Hamas and the implication that criticism of Israel is doing so is unhelpful for any meaningful discussion going forward. I’m also sceptical of your decision to describe planned protests supporting the Palestinian people - the actual reason for the schools closing - as “celebrating what happened”.

The BBC have a clarification at the bottom of their article.
FWIW either way I think protesting outside Jewish schools is a bad look regardless of the reason. Although I don’t think that’s the actual plan anyway. The rhetoric is a close second to the facts.
If only the parents in Gaza had the luxury and privilege to keep their children safe by simply keeping them home.
