Yes, now it does feel like it is all over, we're never going back to anything like what we used to think of as normal. I suppose I'll go on hoping and grasping at straws for a while nevertheless, but it's hard to avoid the impression that October seventh changed things in such a fundamental way it will be hard to grasp at straws for long. In itself it was horrific, but the finality of it comes with the reactions to it by the forces of evil, the increase in threats and claims by the bad guys when one would ordinarily expect a loud reaction against it all. As I talk about in the previous post too.
Jan Markll's weekly radio show Understaning the Times is all about this sense of finality and never going back that is felt by many of us. This isn't a This Too Shall Pass moment, it's got to be the irreversible beginning of the End. Part of her show was someone reporting on ... well no, giving a warning to Jews traveling anywhere in the world to be on the alert because they are now targets in a way thaey haven't been before because it's all out in the open and stated baldly that their enemies are out to get them. Warning to avoid their usual ways of dressing that identify them as Jewish and so on, and to keep alert as never before. Travelers going all over the world. ALL Jews everywhere. Unprecedented.
Yes I'llhope and grasp a straws for a while, but recovery is looking about as improbable as ... well impossible really.
