Sunday Reflections - Joy, Justice and Sadness

Good morning…
Happy Birthday to my daughter Rachel who turned 26 yesterday. Rachel is in town for a bit working from home and headed on a road trip with a friend this week.
Yesterday, Rachel and I spent the day together eating, running errands for her, catching a movie (Wonka), getting the new iPhone and having a party for her at home with some friends and family . Max is home as well.
We all believe our kids are special so I will spare you the goop. Rachel makes us proud every day. She is a smiler, a giggler, generous, optimistic and hugely empathetic. She is a bundle of joy, but like most people, I am sure she is a bundle of nerves. Such is life. It is difficult.
Rachel sadly now shares a birthday with ‘The Insurrection’. She reminded me of that yesterday and I wondered what has happened in the three years since. Here are the stats:
JUST IN: New Jan. 6 stats for 3rd anniversary of the attack
-1,265 arrests
-452 charged w assaulting/impeding officers
-332 charged w obstruction-718 guilty pleas; 171 guilty at trial
-749 senences handed down— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney)

It has taken three years but a lot of justice has been handed down.
This morning, January 7th, it has now been three months since the massacre by Hamas in Israel that started a war. Rachel and I always chat about that and I try and keep her updated from my network and what I am gleaning.
The way I see it…
Israel is DESTROYING Hamas.
Key quotes from tonight’s (Saturday) briefing by IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, marking three months into the war:
“We have completed the dismantling of Hamas' military framework in the northern Gaza Strip and will continue to deepen the achievement, strengthening… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

There are many (too many) people in the United States that think Israel is not winning or will win this war against Hamas. Those people are wrong.
This war is cruel, it is brutal and I can’t comment on ‘justice’ because it is a war not a trial. Justice will be debated and served in the years to come once the war is over.
This take today seemed about right…
Total annihilation: Israel is destroying Hamas - Bulldozing GAZA, blowing tunnels sky-high, taking out Hamas commanders & leaders - that's why the Palestinian Islamist terror org is releasing videos gloating about dead hostages.
It's all they have. They need to give something to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Lee from London has been in Israel since the war started and said this yesterday which rung true to me…
The world of haters and anti-semites know (and will deny) why Hamas will never release the hostages, something Israel knows too and why they will not relent on Hamas until they are beaten…
Hamas does not play by ANY rules.
That is Israel’s nightmare but also Hamas eventual undoing and demise.
Israel is fighting this war for people like Amit…
This is a story about a ray of sunshine. A story about the heroism of a young girl. A story of devotion. This is a story about Amit who served as an on-call paramedic at Kibbutz Be'eri. When terrorists began to infiltrate the kibbutz, Amit took her first aid kit and ran to the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I hope the police in London, Toronto, Seattle realize this as they serve coffee and kid gloves to the vile terrorist sympathizers disrupting traffic and lives in our Western cities.
Have a great Sunday.
