Discussion on Historical Narratives of Conflict
The next generation of, of young people won't remember October
seventh in the same way. That's true in Israel and in America
and broadly in
the world, and we need to make sure two things.
One, it's not that we don't forget.
We need to make sure that the story is told properly so that
when the history books
write this, they don't write about the victims of
Gaza.
So that when the history books write this, they don't write about the
victims of Gaza,
right? I should be a little more precise.
There, there were victims in Gaza, right? It's true.
There are civilian casualties in every war that's ever been fought.
But the victims were the people of the nation state of Israel.
The aggressor was the Iranian regime in the proxy of Hamas, and
we need to make sure that the history books reflect that,
and that requires each of
us every day to talk about it in real time with our children,
with our grandchildren, about it in a way that is serious
and thoughtful and
complete and moral.
