We were supposed to learn a lesson about the dangers of antisemitism and the depths of evil it can drive from the terror inflicted on Oct. 7, 2023.
The world watched in horror as Hamas murdered about 1,200 Israelis, including hundreds of civilians in their homes, on the streets of their neighborhoods and at a music festival. Hamas took at least 250 people hostage; about 100 remain in captivity, including seven Americans.
We saw, through video and photos taken during the Oct. 7 attack, a barbaric terrorist organization, driven by hate and antisemitism, rape and murder without mercy.
We were moved as Israel, grief-stricken and shocked, found strength to fight Hamas − and now Hezbollah and Iran − with all its might.
But we soon realized that not everyone in America and other countries has learned the lesson of Oct. 7.
Far too many continue to harbor hate, to let discrimination fester toward Jewish people, and it's not just in Gaza and Iran − it's in America, too.
Aside from the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, I have not seen anything like the Oct. 7 attack that Hamas perpetrated on Israel. Like much of the world, I was aghast.
