Sunny Hostin Sparks Controversy with Comparisons of Hamas and Proud Boys

Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, compared the extremist group Proud Boys to Hamas terrorists after the Palestinian militia launched a deadly attack on Israel. Hostin accused the Israeli leadership of war crimes while downplaying Hamas' designation as a terrorist group. She warned that Israel's retaliation could violate international law and argued that retaliation against innocent civilians collectively is also terror and a war crime. Hostin's remarks came amidst a wave of support for Israel from US celebrities and organizations.
