Hi there, your article is intellectually challenging to my very simple mind, which needs to be explained in a much simplier style. I am troubled by the explanation of the subject "7th October came". What did you mean about Zionism? Did you actually state that Israel caused its own genocide? If so, I object. The old testament says very clearly that the land of Israel was given to the Jews, however, the covenant depends on keeping the Almighty's commandments which the Jews are obligated to keep, and were accepted by the Jews themselves at the giving of the 10 commandments. Zionism and Judiasm are polar opposites. Anyway, what happened on 7th October was an evil pogrom by their enemies in Gaza. The Jews who live there may be zionist but also leftist and many not observant. For some reason the satan was released and havoc broke out. The Jews are ruled in this world by a different set of spiritual laws, seemingly good or seemingly bad. The cosmic jigsaw of the Jews is not revealed until the end of days. In other words, whatever happens it is for the ultimate benefit of the whole community. Maybe I have totally misunderstood you, but certainly such actions that were done on that day, or any other past atrosoties, were part of a larger scheme that were decreed from above in order to give an opportunity to put the Jews back on track, to jolt the mind into soul searching on what the Jews' ultimate purpose is in this world.

Hi there, I disagree. While I am not a historian, I would like to say that the Jews were "chosen". When the Jews agreed to the Covenant, they said "we will accept and we will do." Simutaneously, the Creator also gave all the nations a chance to receive the Torah, BUT they rejected it. The agreement was to keep the commandments and be a moral example to the rest of the world. This agreement cannot be undone. If the Jews do not act in the correct way according to the Covenant, then there is trouble. The land of Israel before that time, did not belong to anyone. There are commandments in the Torah, i.e. Shmita, to let the land fallow every seven years, and many other commandments, whether understood logically or not, that the Almighty clearly states that the land is encumbant on the Jews keeping the Torah, and only then there will be peace in the land. The Torah was a divine document, so to speak. Morallity for man is impossible for man to decide what is right from wrong, moral or immoral. The oral Torah came out of the written Torah and that is where it is today. As to the claim about the knowledge of the 7th October, they did have messages but did not believe them because they thought there is no way that such a thing could happen, they were arrogant, "our might is in our hands", in other words when the Jews take control of their own lives instead of keeping to the Torah, they dig their own deep hole, and all Jews are affected in one way or another. Every nation under the sun had the same chance to receive the divine command of the Torah but was rejected immediately. All through the centuries that different cultures were in Israel, the land did not thrive like it thrives for the Jewish people, as Mark Twaine also said. To be the nation of spiritual divine example where there are serious conseqiences is no easy feat and therefore it is not racist.
