22 Americans are confirmed murdered.
The numbers killed in the Hamas attacks in Israel continue to climb. What started in the hundreds has now passed 1,200. And is expected to go on climbing. It’s taking time for Israel to fully restore control over some of the communities invaded by Islamic terrorists. Identifying and counting the bodies has also become a long and grueling process. Some bodies were burned or badly mutilated.
The currently announced total is 22 Americans murdered in the attacks. This number will likely increase.
It is however the single deadliest death toll for Americans from Islamic terrorism since the Pulse Massacre in Florida in 2016. Beginning with 9/11, this would appear to be the third deadliest Islamic mass murder of American civilians in this century.
Hopefully the numbers don’t rise any further, but it’s possible they will.
At the moment, Israelis are still waiting on burying their dead. Bodies are still being turned up. Since Hamas Jihadis torched buildings to force families out into the open where they could kill them, it’s possible that some bodies may never be properly identified. Israeli rescue groups like ZAKA are expert at locating even small fragments of bone and tissue for burial and identification purpose, but there has never been anything on this scale in Israel. The closest parallel is 9/11 and it took a long time to identify the dead.

Sometimes I find it unfortunate that Jews more often than not, think with their heart instead of their head. For years, Gazans have been able to enter Israel with work permits so they can feed their families since the corrupt Gazan government steals all their foreign aid. They continue to allow Gazan children with serious medical issues or birth defects into hospitals to be saved by Israeli doctors. It’s probably a good thing I have no say so in this matter, as I would deny them all entry into Israel for work or medical care. Let the corrupt Gazan government led by the corrupt Hamas “let their people eat cake as they have no bread.”

On the contrary, I wish you did have a say in the matter.

Ditto.
Your ideas are not wrong.
But then, I think that Meir Kahane’s ideas should have been implemented when he made them.
Over the years it would have saved the lives of countless Jews, and spared Israel this.

The Jews in Israel, deciding things like that, are *ethical*…choosing to do what is viewed as right. And though Jews don’t believe their Messiah ever came, these things are an illustration of the “Do to others as you wish to be done to you.” Which is a group of Commandments, such as do not murder, steal, commit adultery, covet a neighbor’s wife or property, etc. all in one statement.
mozlums just take advantage of the good things….one of the aspects of being psychopaths, and of having evil hearts.
The Jews of ancient times, were told that any non-Jew coming into their Land, had to obey and abide by the Law of Moses, just as the Jews had to do.
Perhaps they should govern that way today and expel or prevent any who refuse to accept the tenets of their laws from residing or working inside their Land.

Excellent and accurate post, somehistory.
My compliments.

I sent the IDF sandwiches for ten soldiers.

Horrible, horrible, somehistory.
Once things get finally sorted out, the numbers likely to go even higher.
OLD GUY says
The BIG question is when will the world come to the conclusion that ISLAM is incompatible with modern life and FREEDOM and stamp it out?
Linde Barrera says
To OLD GUY- Late last night Oct. 13, 2023 (most likely after midnight if I recall correctly) I wrote an email to Rashida Tlaib on her website. I wrote this:
I > INSIDIOUS-treachery;
S > SATANIC-extremely evil;
L > LEWD-obscene, vulgar;
A > ASININE- utterly stupid;
M > MALICIOUS-desire to harm.
I also asked her why Islam does not recognize that all humans were born with free will.
Do you think she will respond?
