Freedom Is Not Free: It Is Stolen From Liberty
You look away every chance you get
Chance you get
You stray
So far from what it means to be human
But we rebuilt it all before
We rebuilt it all
And we rebuilt it all before
We rebuild it
You know
hhhh…
You know
nnnn…
You play pretend
As if we don’t see through it all, my “friend”
We are family
You know that it’s the Truth
You stole us from our seeds
But we rebuilt it once before
Twice before
Thrice before
A hundred million infinities
We rebuilt it all before
Rebuild it, we rebuild it
You can never win
It’s already written
You know that it’s the Truth…
We rebuilt it all before
And we’ll rebuild it all again
They live forever in our bones
In our eyes
In our souls
In our minds
In our hearts
Our hearts
‘Cause death is not the end.
No.
Death is the start.
And we’ll rebuild Her once again.

“The October 7th terror attack in Israel was the deadliest by the number of fatalities per capita for at least the last 50 years.5 On that Saturday, approximately 3000 Hamas-led terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border with Gaza and attacked civilians of all ages and soldiers in their homes, at an outdoor music festival, and on military bases. Hamas terrorists invaded 20 communities and several Israel Defense Forces bases, using assault rifles and explosives which killed and injured hundreds of civilians and soldiers. The music festival, which had approximately 4000 people in attendance, was also overrun by terrorists, resulting in 364 murders (approximately 30% of the total [mass casualty incident] deaths), 40 taken hostage, and hundreds injured.6–8”
“All said, the Hamas terrorists murdered close to 1200 people by firearms, explosives, decapitation, mutilation, and incineration. Hundreds of others were abducted and thousands more were injured. Israel’s National Center of Forensic Medicine had to identify almost 1200 deaths in a single day when they usually handle about 2000 cases a year.9 On October 7th and 8th, approximately 2000 casualties arrived at various emergency medicine departments (ED), especially at the Soroka Medical Center (level-I trauma center) and Barzilai Medical Center (level-II trauma center) which serve the Negev and Gaza Strip adjacent regions of southern Israel.10 Approximately 1 million people reside in this southern part of Israel, out of a national population of 9.8 million.11“
