Hamas Attack on Israel

- The attack involved hundreds of Hamas combatants entering Israel and targeting civilians in their homes and at a concert.
Unforeseen Attack
- Israel did not anticipate the attack, similar to how the U.S. did not foresee Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
- The attack exposed Israel's intelligence and military weaknesses and highlighted a failure of imagination.
Reawakening of Jewish Identity
- The October 7 attacks led to a reawakening of Jewish identity in the U.S. and renewed support for Israel.
- This has raised questions about the longevity of this commitment if it is not based on theological conviction.
