I suppose this must be the most iconic photo of the October 7th attack on Israel.
Young people who'd been innocently enjoying a music festival, running for their lives as Hamas attack, mutilate, and kill them.
Rather like September 11th, October 7th will go down in history as a date one will never forget.
It was just one year ago when Jews, and other Israeli residents, suffered the worse violence since The Holocaust. Hamas terrorists murdered, raped, tortured, and took hostages. The savagery was unparalleled. 1,139 were killed, and 250 hostages taken.
The result, of course, was for the Israeli IDF to attempt to reduce the terrorist activities of Hamas in Gaza, once and for all. The work continues; as it will with Hezbollah following their year-long assault.
The 1,139 dead were not 'martyrs' (as Islam would claim for their own); they were innocent VICTIMS of barbarity.
There are several things that are never contested concerning Israel/Gaza/Lebanon. Firstly that Israel has the right to defend itself. Secondly both Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organisations. Israel's IDF are NOT classified as terrorists; as their name suggests they are a Defence Force.
RIP to all who lost their lives on October 7th. We will remember you!

oh for it to be over,
That's what we all hope for.
Thank you Cro for remembering and understanding and being a good friend all along. And it's not over yet.
Yes, thank you Cro, and hoping you stay safe Yael.
I will never forget. I remain horrified that such a massacre could happen.
Yes, Yael remans in all our thoughts; especially today.
The horror of how it all began. The youtube videos of the violence and grim personal stories are not forgotten
How can we forget. Especially after the horrific personal stories
I believe the Hamas fighters were all drugged-up. They behaved like monsters.
I feel for the Israelis. I can't imagine what it must be like to live surrounded by pond life. It'll come here too and we've nobody to defend us.
The Israelis are surrounded on all sides. All they can do is attempt to be rid of the problem; or at least weaken them definitively.
The carnage is impacting everyone.
The war is expanding and the leadership makes no plan for ending war.
Some state, BN is continuing and even expanding war to retain his own leadership position.
When will it stop?
Thank you Cro Magnon for post about 7 October 2023, I will always remember the massacre on that day. I saw a documentary “Screams Before Silence”
It will only stop when Hamas are defeated and a proper 'Palestinian' elected authority are in control of Gaza. Only then will relations between Israel and Gaza return to how they were.
I don't think I could watch that; I'd be too upset. It was a terrible day, and yet they have their supporters.
