David Foster's daughter, Erin Foster, told her followers there was "nothing progressive or liberal in being Anti Israel."
"If you think you are on the right side by defending what happened yesterday, you are either deeply uninformed, or you do not believe in human rights," she added. "Hamas does not believe in having a Palestinian state. They want to demolish the state of Israel and the Jewish people. They want to demolish all western cultures. Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East."
Foster continued, "The only place you can be openly gay, A place where women have independence. Supporting Hamas is not supporting innocent civilians, which there are many. It is supporting a Jihadist terrorist group that celebrates murder in the streets, and does not believe in human rights of any kind. Including yours. What does it look like to you for Palestine to ‘win’? Freedom for Palestinians? That does not EXIST when their government are terrorists who do not believe in freedom."
