10 months ago yesterday, October 7th, 2023, will go down in world history, and especially the history of Israel, as an unforgettable day of rage and terrorism. Hamas warriors from the Gaza Strip entered peaceful Kibbutz villages in southern Israel and slaughtered innocent people of all ages. Jews were celebrating Yom Kippur all across Israel, thus unprepared to suddenly leave their joyful celebrations, grab their weapons and rush to defend these helpless villagers under attack. For the past 10 months the world has watched as Hamas has refused to release the hostages they took; refused to stop firing rockets into homes and markets in Israel; refused to accept any good faith efforts for a cease fire. I find their hatred of Israel repulsive. Yet they are certainly not the first, nor will they be the last angry people intent on destroying the nation of Israel.
