Not all were Jewish. A few were even Muslim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a reminder, some of the victims are seniors, youth who were dancing, children, and even infants (a baby, Bibas, is still in captivity. Can you imagine his family&#8217;s suffering?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were massacred, raped, kidnapped, and\/or their dead bodies were disrespected. Some of the latter are fellow Canadian citizens. May their families have lots of courage on the first anniversary of their tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the memory of the dead be eternal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May all the injured heal, physically and mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the kidnapped be freed. May their families be finally relieved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May inner peace prevail in the hearts of the survivors. Same wishes for the grieving families, as per the French-Canadian song shared below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May the same G-D\/Allah\/God of love forgive the perpetrators of this carnage for their barbaric behaviours, especially if they were under any substance abuse. May he inspire them to re-connect with their critical thinking and sense of perspective. Only then, they can resist, whatever they want to resist, in more peaceful ways&#8230; and even with humanity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, may God have mercy on the Middle East, including Bambi&#8217;s beloved Lebanon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Tu trouveras la paix\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1EjTNyR--U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29990\" style=\"width:242px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No word can describe the October 7 massacre.
