I'm glad we are not crazy

 

            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.
