Why Israel is the envy of the Western world - comment

AMY NEUSTEIN

For many Jews, the past year began on Simchat Torah, when a joyous holiday of celebrating the annual conclusion of the Torah readings turned into a bloodbath of epic proportions.

A music festival and towns in southern Israel on October 7 were ambushed by Hamas terrorists who murdered 1,200 innocents and took 251 hostages. Universities around the world ignited vociferous attacks on the Jews reminiscent of 1930s Europe.

With the one-year remembrance of October 7, to occur shortly after Rosh Hashanah, we will begin the year on a far different note. Israel’s tour de force intelligence gathering, military superiority, and technical prowess realized a major feat against Hezbollah in its long-term efforts to eviscerate the axis of resistance. Its military prowess and intelligence-gathering capabilities have proven, once again, to be the envy of the Western world.
