They Try to Kill Us, and We Refuse to Let Them: Three Years After October 7, This Remains True.
Their victims were, tragically, the very Israelis who believed in peace most of all.

October 7th is engraved into the soul of every Israeli living in the Holy Land.
I would like to begin this article by admitting that I’m writing it through tears. My heart is bleeding profusely😢 The October 7th genocide was carried out on Simchat Torah, the holy day when Jews dance with the Torah and celebrate life. The monsters chose this sacred day intentionally, to turn joy into agony and faith into rivers of blood. Jewish blood they long to spill from the river to the sea.
Three years have passed, and the pain still echoes through every heart in Israel, including my own.
Every time I hug my little cousins, I think of the Bibas babies💔🧡and the countless other children just like them who were tortured, raped, and only then executed, by those devilish “innocent” Gazans.
To the so-called “morally confused”:
The villains are those who slaughtered a nine-month-old baby, a five-year-old child, and their mother.
Exactly three years ago, we, the Jewish people, experienced an inhuman terror attack, the October 7th genocide, in which more Jews were murdered in a single day than at any time since the Holocaust.
On October 7th, Black Saturday, over 1200 innocent Israeli civilians were barbarically slaughtered by Iran’s terror proxy, the designated terror organization Hamas and thousands of other “innocent” Gazans. They’ve slaughtered children in their beds and kidnapped over 200 of our citizens - ranging from a 9 month old baby to an 85 year old Holocaust survivor - into terror tunnels deep in Gaza.
We are a traumatized nation, yet we push the pain aside because we must endure. We must be resilient in this just war, this existential fight for survival. We must be strong. We must not allow the fractures of our broken hearts to distract us from this sacred war; a war for humanity itself and for the survival of the Western civilization we know we are protecting.
Before we move forward, I would like to ask you to please find the time to read the article I wrote last year commemorating the October 7 genocide.
It’s important because I cannot even begin to capture the scale, the horror, and the satanic nature of those atrocities in a single article. Not in ten articles. Not even in a million. No words could ever adequately describe, explain, or convey the magnitude of those inhuman crimes against humanity.
Therefore, with each article I write, I must focus on one angle at a time. And even then, what I manage to illuminate is merely a narrow, faint beam of light cast upon an ocean of unimaginable darkness.
So please, before/after reading what I’m about to share with you today, read the article I wrote last year. Here is the link: WE WILL DANCE AGAIN!
“Innocent Gazans” assisted in carrying out the October 7 genocide. They murdered in cold blood. They raped. They looted. They beheaded. They burned!
Some committed murder with their own hands; others "merely" assisted. One way or another, thousands of them became murderers in the end.
Tragically, their victims were the very Israelis who believed in peace more than anyone else!
They were the “children of Oslo.” Many were staunch believers in the political left, people who genuinely believed that their Gazan neighbors were also their friends.
Many spent their spare time volunteering for those in need, such as driving Palestinian patients from Gaza to Israeli hospitals for (free) advanced medical treatments.
They meant well, but they were tragically mistaken:
Those they believed to be their friends had always been their devilish Islamist jihadist enemies!

“Resistance” is a euphemism for barbarism with impunity. Terrorists who invade a sovereign state, butcher its children, commit mass gang rapes, and kidnap civilians (including a 9-month-old baby 🧡💔) into Gaza - as the so-called “resistance” carried out upon Israelis during the October 7th genocide - are NOT “resistance fighters”. They are pure evil! And there’s nothing “pure” about it!
Let’s be honest: 99.9999% of these “innocent Gazans” are no different from Hamas.
Even now, nearly three years after they invaded Israel, committed satanic crimes against humanity, and suffered the consequences of their actions, the Gazans according to recent polls, still overwhelmingly support Hamas. That means that if today the same Hamas, whom they elected approximately twenty years ago to rule them, were to run for elections again, it would most likely win by a striking majority of Gazans.
These “innocent Gazans” are the so-called “victims” in the eyes of so many Westerners who simply hate Jews and launder their antisemitism by pretending to care about self-proclaimed “Palestinian refugees,” who are in truth savage victimizers driven by an Islamist, Salafi-jihadist, political-religious ideology.
Those so many confidently call “refugees” are not refugees. They are Arab tribes who lost a war they started and simply cannot accept defeat. They are the aggressors, waging a long campaign of terror and violence to try to erase the only Jewish state in the world.
Satanic darkness has built these terror tunnels, larger than the NY subway system, with the dirty money it receives from its vile global allies and its career in fake “victimhood” that blinds the naive West to its true monstrous nature. It steals this valuable money from its population: the same “innocent” Gazans who elected Hamas in 2006. and they have little regard for living in filth, as long as their beloved “freedom fighters” succeed in their mission of exterminating the Jews; Jews who have lived in the land of Israel for over 3,500 years, long before the arrival of Muslim Arab tribes.
Even during the Holocaust, there were a few (not many, but a few) who had the courage to stand against evil. But in Gaza? Not a single glimpse of humanity. There are no Righteous Among the Nations there. Gazans were offered large sums of money for even the smallest hint about the location of our poor Israeli hostages, and not one was willing to help. Some even held them at gunpoint inside their own homes. That is a sad fact. Never forget the truth🎗️
This is their culture: polygamy, family violence, the glorification of death and destruction, passed down with fervor from generation to generation. So what is it to them to murder an unarmed woman, Shiri Bibas Z”L, holding her babies Ariel and Kfir Z”L🧡? It’s nothing. To them, it’s as routine as buying milk at the supermarket.
The devilish Palestinian terrorists exterminated entire family trees on the October 7th genocide. From the very same families, they murdered grandparents, parents, and children, leaving no one behind and no name to carry forward; Generations were wiped out in a single morning. Entire bloodlines severed from their roots, leaving nothing to grow. It was an intergenerational bloodshed, the deliberate severing of the family tree itself.
This death cult sits right outside our window. Just a few kilometers separate us - a moral, modern, Western society that values life - from them - the sons of the devil.
This is not dehumanization. This is tragic reality. They are biologically human, but there is not a shred of humanity in their blood.
If this is not true, then why do they rejoice when Israel releases their mass rapists and sadistic murderers from prison? Why do they need such monsters among them? Because they are them!
Look at the difference between us: Israel fights tirelessly to bring its innocent civilians home from Gaza’s terror tunnels, even willing to release mass murderers in exchange. Meanwhile, Gazans celebrate the release of bloodthirsty butchers who massacred Israelis.
Palestinian terrorists kidnap because they expect “deals.” The October 7th genocide proved it. Human lives, to them, are currency.
The Gaza Strip is a microcosm of the conflict.
Israel fully withdrew from Gaza in 2005, dismantling every settlement and forcibly removing every Jewish family that lived there. Not a single Israeli soldier remained inside its borders. The only Jew “occupying” the Gaza Strip between 2006 and 2011 was kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.
Gaza could have become the Singapore of the Middle East, but instead it became a fortress of terror, paving the way to the October 7th genocide.
Israel, roughly the size of New Jersey, is a democracy that protects its citizens: Jews, Druze, Christians, and Israeli Arabs. On the other side, Hamas Islamist jihadists have robbed Gaza of any future by siphoning off international aid and local resources to build rockets, missiles, and hundreds of miles of terror tunnels. That’s not rhetoric, it’s fact.
The only reason Hamas and thousands of “Innocent Gazans” didn’t murder all Israelis on Oct. 7th is because we stopped them - they were committing genocide and, to their disappointment, they didn’t complete it entirely.
Two years ago, I went on a special tour of many sites where the devilish October 7th genocide took place and I will never be the same. As I stood there hurting, I promised my people that their deaths were not in vain. We will dance again and they will dance with us, wherever they may be.
MORE SAD FACTS FOR YOU:
In Two Seconds, Israel Could End Gaza, But Chooses Not To:
If Israel truly intended to “kill everyone in sight,” as its haters claim, why are Israeli soldiers dying in combat instead of simply carpet-bombing Gaza from the air? Why would a nation with the military capability to erase Gaza in 2 minutes choose instead to fight a prolonged ground war for three years, risking the lives of its brave IDF soldiers and its own Israeli civilians? The answer is self-evident: Israel’s actions prove the opposite of the false narrative spread by its enemies. This war reflects restraint, precision, and an extraordinary moral code unmatched in modern warfare.
Think about it for a second, would you? If the IDF truly indiscriminately targets civilians - as their propaganda claims - then why the Palestinian terrorists go out of their way to hide specifically in civilian zones and use them as human shields?
Israel is the only country that feeds those who try to murder its people.
It’s the only country that is morally expected to provide aid to its enemy.
It’s the only country that gets blamed when that very aid is repeatedly stolen by the designated terrorist organization Hamas, which still rules Gaza and which the Gazans, who are now being shot for trying to access that same aid, elected to rule them nearly two decades ago and, according to recent polls, still support today.
Israel is expected to feed its own hangmen! Not only is it pressured to meet these unjust, twisted expectations of the international community, it is also accused of using starvation as a weapon of war.
These are the unique “moral standards,” or rather, the blatant double standards, reserved only for the Jewish people and their tiny state, trying to survive in the heart of a jungle full of predators.
Gaza also borders Egypt. Egypt doesn’t want the “peaceful” Gazans invading their country. Imagine that🍉
Over 22 Arab countries flat-out refuse to take in Palestinian “refugees.” What do they understand that much of the world still refuses to see?
Thank you to the brilliant Douglas Murray for his unwavering courage and moral clarity.
If Gaza is, as the terror apologists like to declare, “an open-air prison,” Hamas, not Israel, is the prison warden.
Let me please remind you: Sinwar, “Sin of War,” for those fortunate enough to have forgotten his vile face, was the architect of the October 7th genocide. Arrested by Israel in 1988 and placed in a maximum-security prison, he was sentenced to five life sentences; After 20 years, Sinwar was released as part of the “deal” to free Gilad Shalit. We released him, and what did we receive in return? A genocide.
They Try to Kill Us, and We Refuse to Let Them: Three Years After October 7, This Remains True.
Don’t forget that for three years now, since the October 7th genocide, we in Israel have been facing a seven-front war. Eight, if you count antisemitic Western institutions like the UN and the ICC, along with hostile and hateful media outlets such as the BBC. This existential marathon has been ongoing for a long time. In truth, it has been so since the re-establishment of our nation in 1948, and even before that, since nearly the dawn of days… Sadly, we know war. We know the painful cost all too well.
Jews have been in the land of Israel for over 3500 years and whoever was there before the re-establishment of Israel was, in fact, a conqueror, occupying the land from its indigenous Jewish inhabitants. Palestinians, on the other hand, can’t even pronounce their own name given that it’s taken from the Romans, and for which there is no comparable sound in the Arabic language. Palestinians were invented in 1964.
So let me simplify the conflict for you, it’s very simple really: the Palestinians don’t want a territory here and a territory there, they want the entire State of Israel and we won’t let them have it!
They want to destroy us and we? We refuse to allow it! Yes, the Jews dare to want to live and that doesn’t match their plans. It’s that simple and it’s that sad.
We pray for peace but the other side needs to want it as well and look at the facts, do they?
The answer is clear: NO!
The Palestinians have proved time and time again that when Israel gives up territory to achieve peace, Israel gets massive terror attacks in return.
So… NO, thank you!
There is no peace with the Palestinians (a made up “people”) and I say this with great sorrow. It’s not that I wish this to be true, it’s only that we have learned our lessons from hard experience. To even think about peace with such bloodthirsty savages is, quite simply, suicidal. If only it were otherwise.
This is the tragic but inescapable reality that we must acknowledge for our very survival. We, Jews, are allowed to defend our lives. We are allowed to resist their so-called “resistance.” No apologies.
WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE
WE WILL NEVER FORGET
We remember, we fight, and we will dance again.
