lyrics

“This attack was a campaign of PURE CRUELTY — not just hate, but pure cruelty — against the Jewish people. The past few days have been a solemn reminder that hate never goes away.”
- President Joe Biden

Violence breeds more violence. If Palestinians are ever to regain the moral high ground, they must hope for the destruction of Hamas. As long as Hamas can claim to represent them, the evil it has perpetrated will taint their cause.

“My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.“
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”
- Albert Einstein

"What is most difficult is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it."
- Hannah Arendt
