• The murder of Israeli officials in Washington is condemned and considered an act of anti-Semitism and hate.
• Prime Minister Beniamin Netanyahu denounces that this is due to a rising climate of anti-Semitism.
• Despite the violence, some Israelis have advocated peaceful coexistence with the Palestinians.
• Hamas, however, does not advocate the coexistence of two states and its primary aim is the destruction of Israel.
• The war in Gaza has heightened anti-Semitism in the West but criticizing Israel's relentless destruction of Gaza is not in itself an anti-Semitic act.
• It's crucial for the Israeli Government to listen and consider international opinion and criticisms, and prevent further human suffering.

Conclusion: Only Hamas seems to be achieving its goals, sharpening criticisms toward Israel and fueling anti-Semitism, while the majority of Palestinians killed in the war would have preferred a peaceful life.
