Vivian, will the Israeli reservist pilots be called up if needed? Hadn't many resigned in protest to Netanyahu's support of the reforms? And to everyone in Israel right now, I am so sorry this is happening.

Everyone is turning up for duty. Reservists living abroad are trying to get back. All hands on deck. The reckoning will come. But not today.

I am not a hateful person but after the butchery I saw displaced today, I hope that the devil is eagerly awaiting and embracing the Hamas terrorists.

The savagery is incomprehensible. It has taken me hours to actually begin to process it. The scope. The total failure of Israel to protect its citizens.This will not end well.

"BEYOND horrific" ? Isn't that can abuse of language? Or at least compulsive intensifiers as evidence of lingual impotence?

Well, apparently so. Can you tell why the present context, regardless of how horrifc that be, should require of us any less attention to what the language we use generates?.In this case, i would say a demonstration of little faith in that language itself? That it must always be boosted somehow, exaggerrated even, to be properly communicable to readers??
