This is a fractured testament to October 7th, where memory, grief, and history speak in whispers only the living can still hear. Reader discretion is advised.
I'm an irreligious Roman Catholic Zionist in England. While the sane laypeople (or even the low-rank clergy) of the Christian world are by-and-large with us, the institutions of the Christian Churches wholesale bought into neomarxist New Age Nazism and "liberation theology", to the extent that they are among the main purveyors of antisemitism dressed as "humanitarianism". Don't trust the Churches as far as you can throw them. I much rather am a heretic than a disciple of either the current Vatican or the CofE. Pox on both their houses.
The Vietkong General Giap, Arafat's KGB handler in the 1970s, nailed it perfectly in his counsel to Arafat:
"Stop talking about annihilating Israel and instead turn your terror war into a struggle for human rights. Then you will have the American people eating out of your hand."
Any Israelis or diaspora Jews who are inclined to think Bibi should cave in to the hysteria, hostility and the immense global pressure being placed on Israel, just go back and read the accounts of the October 7 genocide with all of its depraved, sadistic savagery and the Gazan "civilians" who cheered it or participated in it, that should strengthen your resolve. We need to be frequently reminded of why Israel is fighting.
I m'self don't off'in wax poetic but this really had me goin'--trooly well done (an' deeply heartbreakin' ta read...)
eerie, chilling, moving... a diffused kaddish mourning-mist gently dampenin' our open-eyes, dangerously shifting our aching sands.... while we witness the hard world-ground unmoved, unsoftened, unchastened by the deathly determination of The Thing which, to our true horror, is borne aloft by a carapace of citizens beckonin' it closer... wishing it well... zeitgeisting its permanence...
I saw the Nova site before it was "sanitized" for "tourists". I touched the bullet riddled cars. I read this and it brings back painful and angry memories. I am at a loss for words.
And horrifically--that is exactly what the Jew haters say about Israel and the Jews: A shame for humanity that must be eliminated. The world is upside down.
It speaks of the human heart, that the capacity to hate and to fear, grieve, and endure. And it speaks to the human mind, that capacity to champion the gods, Apophis and Mayhem on one side of. the scale and Apollo and the the Horae on the other.
Sadly, those who need to read it, will not. Those who read it and need to understand, will not. Those who understand and need to take action, will not.
The Thing has always had a talent for making others speak on its behalf… Like my whispering “please take it” to accompany coins I tossed to an Arab urchin lying prone on the Champs-Élysées.
This piece is so powerful I had to contribute a fragment from my own memories.
Wow and still people on internet do not believe us and think we are just storytellers and liers and spread lies by media swayedby hamas and antisemetic narratives! How sad Hamas won and a death cult reigns in minds of usefull idiots in West some are even jews whom knew their heritage and do not understand English in denial snd others whom are Israeli remain in pain yet have a lack of understanding what it means to be a Diasporian jew .We fight for our brothers and sisters on the front and in the battle field and hardly recognise what we have become! Yet i am a keyboard warrior and have always known i am first a jew part of a nation and home is Israel!
Macron, Starmer, Albanese, and Carney would do well to read this.
What’s happening in Israel isn’t about land. It’s about religious hatred and dominance that goes back 1400 years.
The Christian world would do well to pay attention.
They wouldn't understand it. And if they did, they'd pretend not to understand it.
many in the Christian world are paying attention and are supportive.
Absolutely right.

(^ read "Western" for "American")
We know but we also know they will not win
It's funny how there are Israelis and Jews in the diaspora that are still living on the 6th of October 2023.
As if non of this ever happened.
Any Israelis or diaspora Jews who are inclined to think Bibi should cave in to the hysteria, hostility and the immense global pressure being placed on Israel, just go back and read the accounts of the October 7 genocide with all of its depraved, sadistic savagery and the Gazan "civilians" who cheered it or participated in it, that should strengthen your resolve.

F-k Never again. We need to say, Enough is enough!
And act on it.

Wax on, Miss Daisy. Wax on. Beautiful and bone chilling...

Thank you, Richard.
We toured the Gaza envelope last December You have to visit Israel and the Envelope to see what Hamas was intent on doing and did on 10/7
A haunting read, worthwhile, and again, “Never again”.
Where is the Spielberg film ? What happened to.our Yentl? Silence silence and more silence.
Just yesterday I ate in his Mom’s Milky Way. And coincidentally I wondered, what would be his next testimony?
The Thing is a shame for Humanity, it must be eliminated.
And horrifically--that is exactly what the Jew haters say about Israel and the Jews: A shame for humanity that must be eliminated. The world is upside down.
Heart wrenching.
It speaks of the human heart, that the capacity to hate and to fear, grieve, and endure. And it speaks to the human mind, that capacity to champion the gods, Apophis and Mayhem on one side of. the scale and Apollo and the the Horae on the other.
Sadly, those who need to read it, will not. Those who read it and need to understand, will not. Those who understand and need to take action, will not.
As Dylan sang, "When will they ever learn?"
The Thing must be killed and in a way that is so terrible that it never happens again.

Anyone who still believes in the dreams of pre 10/7 such as a two state solution should read this
Brilliant
