(JNS) Fiamma Nirenstein - After the descent of Hamas barbarians on communities in Israel, we now realize that there are many essential things we do not know. We do not know if there is a limit to human cruelty, after having witnessed through the cameras of the terrorists the atrocities committed against children in front of their mothers, against mothers in front of their children. We do not know if the nightmare of an army of murderers who, shouting "yehud, yehud" and "Allahu akbar," killed 1,400 innocent people is really over. We see that these cries of terrorism and murder are now invading Western cities, and we do not know if there will be the strength and will to counter it. We do not know whether the extreme suffering of the families of the 240 hostages, including 30 children, will awaken the conscience of the West and prompt a collective demand for their release, which thus far has not yet been heard. But one thing is clear. The Jews continue to love life while their enemies love death. Jews fight to win. Israel's young people at the front know that they are fighting a historic battle for the entire Jewish people even while they weep for the fallen.
