CBS’s 60 Minutes put together a piece on Sunday about the 13 U.S. government officials who have resigned in protest over the role the country has played in helping Israel battle Hamas. Throughout the report, viewers were left to conclude that the best way to fight terrorism is to surrender to it and that terrorists should run U.S. foreign policy because our decision to help Israel fight back makes them mad.
