One Year

-

It’s been one year since the unscrupulous and patently-demonic terrorist group Hamas waged their attack on Israel on October 7.

More than just a barrage of missiles and invasion that appears to be prompting a complete and total collapse of order in the Middle East, families witnessed unspeakable atrocities that day that we can only constitute as pure nightmare fuel.

We understand there’s some contention on just how much aid should be dealt to our allies and just how much force is necessary against our enemies. That’s largely removed from the sheer lack of humanity on display then, and that which still perpetuates across the region today.

Reminder: some of those original hostages, including Plainview native Omer Neutra, 22, have yet to be released. And what’s worse, their families fear they’ll only return in body bags.

We’ll leave this as a brief reminder of what has occurred and what is continuing in the Middle East. Our elected and religious leaders can probably say it better than we can, but we find it more than appropriate to perpetuate this conversation.

Bring them home.
