They say every American remember where he was and what he was doing when he learnt about 9/11. I am french, but I do too (I was 12 years old at the time).

Yet, I also remember exactly what I was doing when I learnt about October 7th.

It was the middle of the night, and I was I my bed, nursing my two months old baby. She was still very slow to drink then, and to pass time, I used to read news on my phone or books on my Kindle.

And so, browsing CNN.com, I learned about the horror of what was still unfolding in Israel. And it the following days it got worse, as I learned about the rapes, the kids butchered in front of parents and vice versa.

Yesterday I started reading Bari's article about the 1 year anniversary.

And I stopped as soon as I saw the photo of the mother terrified with her two kids in her arms.

Having your children killed or taken from you is the worst nightmare every parent has, and I just can't confront it.

Somehow, the terror of this mother is mine, and I just can't face it. I can't even read about it without fearing for my own children (I am not a Jew, if you wonder).

How some people can support Hamas / Hezbollah / Iran and hate the Jews is beyond me.

Congratulations to the author for having another baby, I wish you the best ❤️.
