(Oct. 7, 2023) — Heartbreak. Shock. Agony. Devastation. Confusion. Rage. These are just a few of the emotions flooding the hearts of millions of Israelis in the midst of an unprecedented terrorist attack by Hamas. This is a time to stop and pray for the merciful intervention of God.
What makes this attack all the more insidious is that it comes almost 50 years to the day of the infamous Yom Kippur War in 1973. At that fateful time, Israel was attacked in the midst of 24 hours of prayer and fasting on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
The current attack, on October 7, 2023 did not just come on Saturday, the Sabbath, but on what is called Simchat Torah, “the joy of the Torah,” the greatest day of celebration on the Jewish calendar. This is the culmination of the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), a day of singing and dancing and rejoicing.
But this day, instead of dancing there is wailing and mourning. Bloodshed has filled the land.
First there were reports of a limited number of casualties. Then shocking news of as many as 40 Israelis killed and 700 wounded. Then reports of more than 100 dead and 900 wounded. And the battles still rage as I write, with reports of Israeli soldiers taken hostage by Hamas.
And consider that the Jewish population of Israel is roughly 45 times smaller than the population of America, meaning that, proportionally, Israel has already suffered far more casualties than our nation suffered on 9/11. Talk about devastation.
A report from friends in Israel, sent out in the midst of the hostilities, stated that, “At approximately 06:30 am Israeli time, on a quiet Shabbat morning, we were awakened by the repeating wailing of air raid sirens. For the past four hours the Islamist terror group Hamas has been firing rockets across southern Israel (Beersheva, Arad, Dimona, Sderot, Ashkelon, Ashdod, etc.) and also at the Greater Tel Aviv area and at the outlying suburbs of Jerusalem. . . .
“Simultaneously, at least ten white pickup trucks driven by Hamas suicide squad jihadis crossed into Israel (as well as some on ultra-light single-place powered parachutists) and attacked approximately 21 sites, including kibbutzim and moshavim (farms), small towns (including police stations). They have been slaughtering civilians, including mothers and children, breaking into houses and indiscriminately killing the inhabitants. We have friends who have terrorists in their house as I write.”
What an indescribable nightmare.
And remember: slaughtering women and children and innocent civilians in cold blood is a major goal of these murderous terrorists. This is how they wage war.
To the unsuspecting Israelis, this onslaught must surely have looked and felt like an invasion from hell – from the air, on the ground, from house to house. Paragliders. Motorcycles. Vans. Rockets. All with venomous intent, and every single terrorist ready to die for the cause. For them, this was a holy war. What a satanic perversion.
In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed “Operation Swords of Iron,” stating, “Since this morning, the State of Israel is at war.” Without a doubt, the response will be fierce, intense, and unrelenting. Much more blood will be shed.
Of course, there are endless questions and, at this early stage, few definitive answers.

A comment/question that I have is: WHAT DID THE CIA KNOW, AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?
Everyone on the planet Earth knew that, eventually, the weapons left for the Taliban would be used to attack Israel and, for that matter, the USA.
This attack wasn’t that much of a surprise, now was it? The timing was indeed a surprise which only goes to show why we must be armed at all times.
We embrace our Second Amendment, not for hunting, but to protect ourselves, our families, and our country from our own GESTAPO and crazed foreign lunatics, such as what the Jews have had to deal with for over 1,600 years.
Murdering other humans for the sake of murder is the baseline of insanity and that’s what Israel is fighting: an insane mob whose headquarters are located in Tehran, Iran.
Go after the head of the snake, is my suggestion.
By the way, a good percentage of that money and weapons earmarked for Ukraine made their way to people who would rather spend it on weapons instead of clinics and schools.
The United States gave Yassar Arafat millions and he didn’t build one school, now did he?
Some of us get it, but very few of our politicians do.
Makes you wonder whose side they’re on.
By the way, Obama is a Muslim.
Obama runs Biden.
In my book, 2+2=4.
In closing, I’d like to give a bit of advice to Israel: don’t trust the USA.
Professor ‘Trash the masks’ Zorkophsky
Excellent advice, especially since we are included in the Cult of the Basket of Deplorable s that require re-education according to Hillary Clinton. And don’t forget the FBI’s new classification for us, AGAAVE, where we could all be destined to to end up in their GULAG or worse.
