Eric and I left on a Fall Leaves Cruise on October 9th. When we arrived at our hotel in Quebec and turned on the television, we were saddened to see Israel was attacked by Hamas, a terrorist group within Quebec. In Canada, they do not censor their news, and I was sickened.
We watched babies' heads being chopped off and women being raped; I saw a mom wrapped up with her child alive in barbwire and then lit on fire. Hamas is in Satan's world. This was a surprise attack, and Israel is beyond angry. They are ready to get their revenge, not that I believe in turning the other cheek, but what is wrong with our world? This is not the world I grew up in.
Growing up, we were never afraid of playing in the streets with the neighbors at night. We played kick the can, hide and seek, and other innocent games every summer. Right now, the United States is hesitantly supporting Israel. Our President Biden has yet to make a statement other than one expressing support from the United States. This attack was not an attack from another country. It is a terrorist group within Israel. There is nothing militant about this; it was a slaughter I cannot unsee. I guess we will wait and see over the next month what is going to happen, but you don't mess with Israel. They want revenge. Hamas is holding hostages, and some of them are Americans. Israel has announced anyone living near Gaza needs to get out because they are going to get to Hamas.
Our vacation started hearing this awful news, but we had a wonderful time.
