SUNDAY - Day 23 of the war of the iron swords
29.10.2023. 18:15 – Sirens in Nahariya.
The 10-year-old child who lives in our building was outdoors and saw the rocket intercepted by the iron dome, her 15-year-old sister is suffering from anxiety and has an appointment with a psychologist.
The parents were in the safe room (miklat in Hebrew) telling Willie their stories. Hard to communicate in three broken languages but they managed. One family arrived from the war in Ukraine only 6 months ago. The space is full of old items and dust – it'll be some time until this is all clear and safe to be used during the sirens. If my writing sounds disjointed and unfocused, it is, so am I.
How much courage does one need to be a Jew?
How much courage does one need to move from one war into supposedly a safe home to find oneself running during sirens that are caused by a slaughter?
How many horrors are acceptable to the soul before it totally collapses from rejection and blind hate only because its heart is throbbing Israeli blood?
At what point does an Israeli and a Jew is allowed to be? When do pogroms, persecutions, and antisemitism stop and freedom to live safely in your own country begins?
Earlier in this blog I said that we were in a shock – just to clarify – we still are. Only it changed its face. Now tears are welling up in the eyes then swallowed before they run down the cheeks. The hearts are shrinking with each teenager on foreign soil who shouts “Stop the war” not knowing that his ignorance is louder than his pickets. Israel is too busy defending itself and its people from slaughter to have time for international PR. So it uses its logic while the international demonstrations worldwide are running its hate machines on emotions which are not based on facts and logic but on generations of antisemitism.
My friends who volunteer in the medical emergency units went south to help in the kibbutzim and found ghost towns. 100 out of 500 survival rate! All the babies, children, women, and men, Holocaust survivors – slaughtered!
Would you have gone after the Hamas if they had done it to your family?
How would you react when the world in total ignorance tells you to stop attacking Hamas?
So you continue to picket and shout slogans and spit hateful words feeling oh so righteous and strong and correct!
It took only 19 terrorists to attack the Twin Towers on 9/11. How many would it take to attack your ignorance?
Israel, which shows humanity in the face of terror each time, has the job of destroying evil; eliminating Hamas, and finishing with Amalek. Totally against its nature. But if they stop now, the world will never be safe for anyone anywhere again.
Many people
will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:3)
From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. (Matthew 11:12)
It is expected to be a long-lasting and bloody war. Choose your side wisely.
“Mi La-Adonai Elai” Who is on the Lord's side?
