For sure I can’t put a “like” there, but does clicking a sad face,
an angry face, sharing the hostages’ beautiful faces over and over
count as fulfilling the mitzvah of comforting the mourner?

Please don’t tell me God doesn’t give us more than we can bear,
or that making friends with suffering is a way to cope.

Let us mourn for at least 24 hours before pontificating about
Israel’s behavior and rotten government.

Remember Donald Trump and his rotten and terrible behavior?
Did your mothers, sisters, fathers and sons deserve
to be raped, tortured and murdered because he was president?

How does a terrorist, genocidal group like Hamas, that uses
its own children as shields and cannon fodder, become
a darling of the progressive left? Can’t they tell the difference
between an underdog and a junkyard dog?

More importantly, I want to emphasize this fact:
Hamas, Hezbollah, and their fellow Islamic jihadists
do not plan to stop even if they achieve Israel’s destruction.

Israel is the Canary in the Mine. Israel is merely the “Little Satan.”
Guess which country they call the “Great Satan”?

When they cross the borders of the United States,
whose children will we be willing to sacrifice?

What emojis will comfort us then?
