Today is October 7, the second anniversary of the most horrendous mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. Here follows my wishes to all concerned.

To the Israelis, I wish victory and peace and an end to the killing and the dying. Also, some well-deserved respect in the world for facing down the human demons who threaten their very existence.

To the Palestinians, I also wish an end to the killing and the dying. Also, a realization that God, whom they call the merciful and the compassionate, expects mercy and compassion from his worshipers and is very angry when this doesn’t happen.

Finally, to the keyboard jihadis, the Greta groupies, and the marching antisemites, a little self-awareness and the realization that they are not on the right side of history or morality.

If it pans out, it may complicate Elon Musk’s dreams of founding a settlement on the fourth planet from the sun.
