A DAY OF SADNESS AND MOURNING

 

One of the saddest days in Jewish history took place on Saturday, 7 October 2023, when the Nation of Israel, while observing the Shabbat and celebrating the joyous day of ‘Simchat Torah’, was treacherously attacked by Hamas from the Gaza Strip.

 

Almost immediately, Israel declared war on Hamas.

At first, most of the world showed sympathy towards Israel – South Africa, Russia and some of the Arab world were an exception. 

However because Israel retaliated strongly and has been busy with a ground incursion into Gaza for ten months as I write this, much of the world is fervently condemning Israel for defending herself.

In fact it seems that much of the world has conveniently forgotten the horrendous and barbaric attacks that took place on Saturday, 7 October on innocent men, women, young and old – even Holocaust survivors some of whom are still being held hostage by the inhumane terrorist group, Hamas.
