What
happened on October 7th was beyond horrible, with people crossing a border to
kill, rape, mutilate, and do everything in the most horrible way they could,
while laughing and others celebrating. It was that evil, but at least I’m glad
with something.
I’m glad
that on the next day, all the world, the leaders of nations and the people in
the streets, joined voices fully condemning all that. I’m glad that some people
even said they had concerns about this or that Israeli policy – whatever – but that
attack could never be justified, not for a second. I’m glad that they all
demanded the imediate release of all the hostages, and that Hamas was taken
down from power, so the world could oversee as Palestinians tried to raise a
new kind of leadership that wasn’t so bloodthirsty, to try to bring to them
whatever they want from life.
I’m glad
that people stood firm on that, because otherwise, it would have been immoral
for Israel to let the hostage’s fate in the hands of luck, or to give a sign to
Hamas that they could that with no reprimend, and we would certainly have a war
that could be lasting until today, with tragic consequences for both sides.
***********
This is
conterfactual – thinking of what could have been. I know some people may feel
the wish to say, well, if it wasn’t for Israeli policies on – whatever – there would
be no attack. But there IS a difference.
The
difference between giving a response that you can’t avoid, or just feeling free
to do something bad that you want to do.
It’s very
hard to imagine that the strategy of the Hamas leadership was aimed to bring
good things to the people in the foreseeable future. They just fed people hate,
and they mantain themselves in power – with a lot of money – manipulating the
hate. What was the gain for the people?
The people
weren’t thinking rationally, of course. The people who took part in that horror
just felt free to let the worst in them take command.
Did the
nazis had reason in any one of their beliefs? We don’t even think about that, because their devotion to evil shows
us that they were just feeling free to do some horror they wanted to, they were
people driven by hatred.
So there is
no point in analysing any of Hamas arguments. There are decent people with
decent questions about Israeli policies – or the policies of any other country
in the world, but not Hamas. It makes no sense listening to them, once they
showed their face. And it was not the first time they showed their face.
And it’s
bizarre that people even compare Israelis to N... Israel is not exterminating nobody, she is in war in a land where the population always grows.
Besides, The jews of holocaust were
not an army group sworn to take Berlin. They were not an armed group. They were
minding their business. Just like the kids in the music Festival.
They have
been persecuted for centuries and did not become an armed guerrilla in Europe.
Just when they legally acquired a land – split in half, the other half for
arabs, and they allowed arabs to live with fulll right on the jewish half –
they raised an army for defense. Just like any other country. Only better.

So, I’m glad
all the leaders and celebrities stoped the tragedy in time.
And the journalists, of course. I’m
glad they did not use the tragic aspects of the war to fan the flames for some
devious reason. I’m glad they never forget that Hamas is Terror, Terror is
evil, raping and kidnaping people is unnaceptable. I’m glad they didn’t stop to
talk about happened that day until the situation was settled.
If Terror
will not be taken down any other way, if hostages will not be returned any
other way, what can you expect but war?
But I am
glad people prefered to see the whole thing as it happened, in the order it
happened, instead of just signaling virtue. This way, they prevented a tragedy.
