To watch the mobile phone footage and hear the testimony of survivors is to have one’s own faith in humanity tested to the point of destruction. Parents murdered in front of their children. Women and girls raped as their family members were forced to watch, powerless to intercede. The elderly abducted and taken into captivity. The depravity of the Hamas attack a year ago today cannot be overstated. It was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
