When Will the World Learn?

We have been here before.
Our hearts torn apart while we mourn our beloved.
Our eyes full of tears as we await the return of our taken.
We will arise stronger than we were before - that is for sure.

Time and again throughout world history, we have been here.
Nations, organizations, communities, people - have attacked without restraint.
We may take a step back...and when we stand and move forward, there is no stopping us.
When will the world learn? 

A year ago today, another attempt at our destruction.
Every moment since has been yet another reminder of our resilience...
Even in the face of the worst evil; our fears just give us fuel.
We do not "bide our time." We prepare to end the struggle...and that we will.

For those that lost their lives, we fight for you.
For those that lost their loved ones, we fight with you.
For those who are still lost, we are searching while we fight.
For all Jews, worldwide, we carry you with us in our fight.

October 7, 2023 - a day we will never forget.
October 7, 2023 - a day we will avenge.
October 7, 2023 - a day in which we were attacked.
October 7, 2023 - just another effort to destroy us.
