A heartbreaking video that everyone should force themselves to watch.
As the world turns against Israel and time marches on, we must actively remember the horrific events that took place on October 7th and the terrible reality that 240 people, from babies to the elderly, were abducted and being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. (Warning: contains some graphic descriptions.)

Btw this comment comes from a woman who has Jewish ancestry (on my mother's maternal side), and who is proud of that heritage. And I am anti-war, always have been and always will be. My own Jewish ancestors fled Germany in the era of the Kaisars and Tsars "because of all the wars". That was before the Holocaust. Had they stayed, I would probably not exist. No war is just if it is started as an over-reaction to a criminal act (such as what happened on Oct 7th 2023)....and a SERIAL ONE AT THAT, which btw, ought to have been internally investigated Scotland yard-style with the perpetrators being brought to proper justice in a criminal court of law. Shame on the Netanyahu administration for seriously lacking wisdom & prudence.
if you have Jewish ancestry on your mother's maternal side, you may actually be Jewish. This is because a Jew is considered Jewish if her mother is Jewish. You should look into your ancestry...you may really be one of us 🙂
I find your comment insulting. I don't believe we have any right to sit in comfort and then criticize.From your tone I am presuming you haven't sacrificed much for the Land or the Jewish people.Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are inaccurate in saying starting this war was 'an overreaction to a criminal act'.
I find your comment insulting and insensitive under current circumstances.

God Bless you O Israel. We are weeping for you and with you and praying continually for your protection and deliverence from these savages. There is no other word for them. We have worked to help the Jewish people home to build their nation again. We carried you on our shoulders as gentiles that love Gods Hebrew people as He said we would. Helping to plant the land as He said you would. We are devestated and do not stop weeping and praying for the safe return of the 230 hostages. This was an attack on the innocent civilians by a savage hatred bent against the Jewish people. They cowards that attack you and others and will receive the same judgement by God. God bless you all and thank you Aish still working for the truth and for love of God. You are not alone.
