October 7 was Different

   One side calls a militant a terrorist
     The other deems him a freedom fighter
   Each side sure the other is blacker
     Each side confident it is whiter... 

   But when it comes to mass rapes of Israelis
     to Hamas' fully-documented sexual atrocities
   There is one, and only one, surety

   The perpetrators and all their enablers
      must be eliminated ~ swiftly and completely

I agree, my friend. On another topic, I know it will be difficult in the current situation; however, I want to wish you a Happy Hanukkah. my friend. We have very misled views on our college campuses here in the U.S.A. concerning what going on in the war. My prayers are with you and yours, Gershon. Bill

What else could be expected but to destroy those who committed such atrocities!
