Since the October 7th 2023 Hamas outrage in southern Israel there has been endless argument and explanation,about the difference between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
Michael, thank you for this appropriately painful FRDH. I join you in praising the heroes who kept the body count from being even higher. We live in a time in which there is easy access to support online for hatreds of every stripe, in which pathetic losers can find comfort and even instructions on how to actualize their most horrific fantasies, and applause for the blood they spill. From Bondi Beach in Australia, where Hanukkah celebrating Jews were the targets, to Bavaria, Germany where police have prevented a massacre at a Christmas celebration allegedly planned by Islamic extremists, we are shocked in this moment but know that soon, numbness will embrace us once again. Until the next time.
I don't quite know what to write, my heart sorrows that hatred of 'the other' rules throughout the world.

Yes, Jeff, the numbness does seem to set in, as if numbness does anything useful.
We remember these events per their overall immensity and impactfulness. The more blood spilled, the longer lasting the impact, it seems.
How numbness adds to forgetfulness reflects the overall insulation impact.
How ultimately sad is that?
(Weeps). It just seems to get worse and worse.
Won't check the "like" heart. But yes, it does seem to be pain without end
YES, Mary Ann.
