"During a week where people around the world marked Holocaust Remembrance Day, in Israel, a significant chapter of another atrocity finally received a measure of closure. The remains of the Israeli Master Sgt. Ran Gvili were located on Monday in a burial ground within the Gaza Strip. He was the last of the 251 people taken hostage by Hamas terrorists during the bloody attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, to be recovered by Israel."
"The Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks upon Israel were the worst crimes committed against the people of Israel since the Holocaust itself. Both atrocities were born out of pure hatred; antisemitism evolved from words to physical assault to death. Both were direct efforts to eradicate the Jewish people from where they lived. The ensuing war in Gaza after Oct. 7 was labeled a genocide by opponents of Israel, many of whom took to the streets chanting slogans that supported wiping the Jewish state off the map."
