I'm not sure of the Jew-count here on XOC, but for the Goyem who don't know, today, the 5th is the Holiest of days for Judaism and Israel, Yom Kippur. The latest attacks have occurred in between the two greatest holidays in Judaism and are pushing the act of retaliation on behalf of Israel to the edge. Aquamanders post about the end being near is sadly true and horribly real.
G-d bless our troops and have mercy on our souls.
