Gaza – On October 7, 2025, Palestinians marked the two-year anniversary of the Hamas-led attack on Israel as a “day of honor,” a disturbing celebration of what was the single deadliest day in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While the Japanese do not commemorate Pearl Harbor as a holiday, and the Germans do not celebrate the invasion of Poland, Palestinians turned a day of mass murder, abduction, and self-destruction into one of pride. The 2023 attack killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages, yet Palestinian groups like Hamas launched rockets in “honor” of the event, glorifying the violence.

This macabre commemoration has drawn international condemnation, highlighting a deep-seated hatred that prioritizes vengeance over peace. Critics argue it exposes the moral bankruptcy of celebrating terrorism, where innocent lives are reduced to “achievements.” The irony is stark: as Palestinians honor the day, Israel mourned its losses, with families still pleading for the return of remaining hostages. The event underscores a troubling narrative where extremism trumps humanity, fueling endless conflict.
