On Saturday, October 7th, as Jews were observing their Sabbath and had just finished celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles, the terrorist group, Hamas, attacked Israel by air, land and sea.
Estimates of the number of Jews killed are now around 1,000 with thousands reported to be injured. Others were kidnapped and are being held as hostages. President Biden has confirmed that 14 Americans are dead with others said to be among the hostages.
This is the largest murder of Jews since the holocaust. Anti-semitism events and rallies are taking place around the world, including right here in the U.S., while Israel's enemies have vowed to wipe the nation off the face of the earth.
Why is there such world-wide hatred for the Jewish people? If Islam is such a religion of peace, then why are they committing such atrocities...or is that the true face of Islam?

Why do Muslims yell "Allahu Akbar" when they destroy and kill. Does Akbar mean "greater" or "bigger"?
