“as I have said before, but still feel it deeply in my gut, no words can fully express the horror of Hamas's attack on Israel two Saturdays ago. In a single day, 1,300 Jews murdered in cold blood: men, women, children, the elderly, the disabled, as old as nearly 100 years old, down to toddlers and infants. I was told that at one of the kibbutzim, Hamas rounded up over a hundred people--from 90 years old down to little babies--into the recreation room and then machine-gunned every one of them down. And now, it is reported that about 200 hostages are being held by Hamas, including Americans. I just walked by the TV, they said they just showed the first hostage, a 22-year-old girl. It wrenches your stomach how evil these people are. How evil. We Jewish people have been used to this for thousands of years. We live with it. As I mentioned when I talked about the kibbutz, I remembered my great-grandmother. In 1941, the Nazis came into Europe and told her-- she was well-known because her late husband was a famous rabbi--Gather your greater family on the porch of your home. They made the 800 Jews in Chortkiv go to the town square, which was near her home. Thirty-five people gathered, from 88 years old to 3 months. They said to her, You are all coming with us. She said, We are not moving. They machine- gunned every one of them down, in front of the others. This is what we live with, and this is why we are so resolute that the threat of Hamas must be extinguished.…”
