There is nothing to celebrate here.
What was done had to be done.
We can give some thanks that the number of innocents killed or maimed was as limited as could be possible. This was not a ‘carpet bombing’.
Still peace, though a long way off, is the goal.
Golda Meir said it well, but it chills; “we will have peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews”.
I mean no disrespect to Arabs or Muslims. Most do love their children more than they hate Jews. I live and work with many folks from those backgrounds every day and no problems over here in fly-over USA.
None of the Mumbai terrorists had ever met a Jew before or knew anything about the religion or people yet what happened did…
Peace is possible and attainable.
That belief is at the core of Judaism as it is in other religions (Love and Peace is translated to Arabic حالة حبّ وسلا ). Some have not found it. Some use their religion to justify their own pathology.
The people Israel have always been a “light unto the nations” though at horrific cost. Terrible that accomplishments should now be measured in better methods of killing enemies. Better to be measured in cancer and other medical research, agriculture, information technology, and other wonders. Israel has excelled in those things far beyond its numbers.
So soldier on Israel.
You have more balls and chains attached to you than any nation on the planet yet you continue to amaze.
