Two years ago today, Hamas perpetrated the single greatest massacre of Jews since the end of the Nazi Holocaust in 1945.

In a barbaric assault on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, 1,195 people, including citizens of the United States and many other nations, were murdered. In addition to mass murder, Hamas fighters raped and brutalized dozens of women, men, and children. They took 251 hostages, dragged them bloodied and terrified into Gaza to be humiliated by throngs of delighted Palestinians, and then kept them in appalling conditions, often tortured, and many more were either murdered or left to die lingering deaths. As of today, 148 hostages have been released in various deals with Israel. Dozens of others have perished. Just 20 are believed to remain alive.
