I am still reeling over the attack on Israelis and visitors in homes along the border of Gaza such as Kibbutz Re'im during their "Nova Festival", an idea brought from Europe, when I think of the horror in how they were butchered, burnt, decapitated and disfigured in their death throes. There they were dancing, happy to be alive, celebrating a Jewish holiday of peace, Sukkot, a harvest festival, and they were suddenly out of the blue attacked while in a secure and safe outdoor field with no hint whatsoever that the people these kibbutzim had worked hard to make friends with, who had come almost every day to work in their homes and fields and other jobs would turn violently against them as an army and go crazy.
- Kibbutz Be'eri: Infiltrated by terrorists around 6:00 a.m., who shot at homes and killed and kidnapped residents.
- Kibbutz Kfar Aza: Breached by terrorists around 6:29 a.m., who arrived on paragliders, motorcycles, and cars.
- Kibbutz Re'im: Attacked by gunmen around the same time as the massacre at the nearby Nova Music Festival, which began around 6:22 a.m.. Evyatar David is 24 years old, born December 24,2000
TEL AVIV — When Hamas released a video of Evyatar David, he looked so frail and emaciated that his father did not recognize his voice, the Israeli hostage’s brother said Monday. David, now 24, was partying at the Nova music festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, when militants kidnapped him and 250 others nationwide during their sweeping terrorist attack in which 1,200 were killed.
The October 7 attacks were a series of coordinated armed incursions from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza envelope of southern Israel, carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups on October 7, 2023, during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which follows Sukkot. The attacks, which were the first large-scale invasion of Israeli territory since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, initiated the ongoing Gaza war.
Technological vulnerabilities: Hamas exploited Israel's heavy reliance on technology for border security, a strategy they internally referred to as the "blinding plan". Using drones, they were able to neutralize key surveillance and communications infrastructure along the border, including cameras and remote-controlled weapons systems. This effectively blinded Israeli forces and prevented them from responding in a timely manner. I wonder if my German Shepherd idea wouldn't have worked better! HOPE THEY LOOK TO THIS AS AN ASSESSORY TO OTHER MEANS. They're great at alerting people.
How can such people be on this earth on October 7, 2023? They were so wild and violent! What kind were they that the genie had let out of the bottle? Such mad bloodthirsty people !!!
Estimates suggest that approximately 3,000 to 6,000 individuals from Gaza, including militants from Hamas and other groups, along with some civilians, participated in the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. This attack was found to have been planned for during the past 3 years by Hamas leadership !
- Approximately 1,200 people were killed in Israel during the incursion.
- Total IDF casualties: In late August and early September 2025, reports indicated that 900 to 904 IDF soldiers had been killed.
- Killed on October 7: 329 soldiers were killed during the initial Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
Hamas managed to take 251 people as hostages into the GazaStrip. The captives included civilians, soldiers-both male and female, children including wee babies, and elderly people who were not only Israelis but visitors from other countries as well.
Today is the 709th day since this war started with the attackbeing the impetus . That's almost 2 years short of 21 days.
As of late August and early September 2025, 148 of the original hostages taken on October 7, 2023, have been returned alive. This includes individuals who were released by Hamas during truce agreements and those rescued by the Israel Defense Forces. That leaves 103 hostages. Word is that barely 20 are still alive at this hour. Israelis want their children returned, both dead and alive ones.
Israel, given the green light, flew the 1115 miles (1795 kilometers) to Qatar where the Hamas heads hang out in luxury hotels using email with their underlings, and tried to do away with the HeadHamas leadership, but according to Hamas, missed a few ofthem. I bet they won't sleep well from now on as most had justmoved to another room to say their prayers.
On Wednesday, September 11, perhaps in commemoration of 9/11 and the Twin Towers in New York, the evangelical CharlieKirk was assassinated, who was a staunch friend and defenderof Israel. Because President Trump was a friend to him, he has become a martyr to many people; never intending to be such. He was only 30 years old and father of 2 small babies. Just this year Kirk said that "No non-Jewish person my age has a longer or clearer record of support for Israel, sympathy with the Jewish people, or opposition to antisemitism than I do". In July 2025, Kirk warned his followers against hatred of Jews, calling it "evil" and "demonic". Some Jewish public figures have defended Kirk against accusations of antisemitism, citing his pro-Israel stance. It makes no difference of who he angered; assassination of speakers and believers is wrong. He hadn't killed thousands and thousands of people, not even one person. He believed in debate; airing both sides of an issue.
Today, the UN tells us that they have voted for the 2 state solution allowing Palestine to be recognized as another of the 50 some Muslim majority states in the world. There were 12 abstentions.
September 12, 2025: Resolution on the Two-State Solution
- Result: 142 in favor, 10 against, 12 abstentions. those 10 against such a resolution that rewards the Palestinians for their cruelty in killing Jews :
- Argentina, Hungary, United States, Tonga, Israel, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, and Paraguay
Our world has become a blind-folded one who are on theopposing side of righteous beliefs.
