Yes, I have picked out aspects of the post-1948 period. Historical
events and eras anterior to the formation of the state of Israel are a
subject too voluminous for a discussion in this forum.
The immediate and recent facts remain:
1. What happened on 7 October 2023 was a terrorist attack. The death
toll from that attack is now at least 1,300 which is an enormous number.
The number of injured is much higher. This was an organised and
deliberate terrorist attack.
Absolutely!
And for that there is a scripted response:
"...Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over
His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD. This
is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘I witnessed what the Amalekites did to
the Israelites when they ambushed them on their way up from Egypt. Now
go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs
to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and
infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys...”.
As von der Leyen said, "Israel will respond as a democratic country".
Justice will be done.
