HAMANTASCHEN

 A dear friend surprised us with the delicious gift of Hamantaschen, today.

Today is Purim, a day to commemorate (and contemplate) the biblical merriment of the Jewish people, who had won their freedom from the death threat of an authoritarian ruler—yet again.

Maureen Mackay writes—

“Purim is important in 2022 as the Russia-Ukraine war rages”

“The Book of Esther, shares messages of deep faith on Purim: 'We pray that the hardships for all people end swiftly and peacefully'”

Putin will not end his army’s bloody march against the determination of the Ukrainian people to govern themselves and raise their families, peacefully, unless this billionaire dictator’s ferocious attack on humanity is stopped in its tracks—not by public opinion but by the resolute actions taken by world leadership asap as proved necessary during Hitler’s terrorizing reign of heartless  enslavement and murder of millions of men, women and children while ordering the bombardments of city after city in nation after nation until the safekeeping of planet earth was embroiled within the flames of World War II.  Begging the question—has World War III begun?

I fear the answer to that question is yes, because, historically, this world of ours is never not at war … spotlighting this reality:  As long as human nature has two sides, freedom from terrorist tyranny must be won anew, repeatedly.
