Hamas is ready to have their damn ceremony with the International Committee of the Red Cross taxi service. Four bodies will be returned. We do not know who is being returned because knowing would involve trusting/believing a terrorist organization comprised of Nazi savages. So we don’t KNOW. We fear.
Today we do not have to fear that the murdered-in-cold-blood hostages will be harmed by the swarming savages eager to take their picture. And I have a thought that we are not capable of doing but I wish we were.
We, the Jewish people, believe that the soul lives on. That this world is a preparation for the next. That the next world there is justice and peace. Peace for us, justice for savages.
We often refer to the next world as “a better place”. And so, wow, could you imagine if we could welcome these back with dance and thanks. No, I know we can’t but wonder how I wish we could. Imagine what that would do to Hamas, to see us sing and dance as we did for those who returned alive.
So today, the rain is perfect. It matches our tears and washes our fears gently. Today is a day to remember that all is in the hands of God…no, not to be angry with Him. He did not murder our hostages. He is bringing them home and He will punish those who hurt His children. There is the justice. Not enough for a mother who wants to hold her child; not enough for a child who believed his grandfather would come home.
But sometimes, it is all we have and so Hashem, I trust You and love You and believe, with complete faith that Hashem will spread His justice to those who hurt His children. And that somehow this horror is part of the plan He has, that the agony is not for nothing.
It is the best we can hope for, the only thing we can hope for. And I will pray for peace…no, not with them, but within, for, between us. Let us take this horrific memory as a sign we must stand together.
Them? They can rot in hell, drown in the gutters, starve while their elected leader steal their food. For them, today, I have nothing. But for my God, for my people, for my country, I have hope and love and light and prayers.
Am Yisrael Chai.
