Some people compare the terrorist attacks in the south of Israel to 9/11, and compare the number of killed relative to the size of the country.

However, I think there are some other, more shocking aspects of what happened, and to some extent is still happening here.



The Palestinian terrorists, whom are called 'freedom fighters' by their supporters in the West, went from house to house, looked in the eyes of their victims and executed them. They looked in the eyes and murdered men, women, the elderly, and even children.

They kidnapped 150 people, including an 85 years old women, several 5-8 years old children and even a 6 month old baby.



Israel is a small country (9.5 million people) with a lot of interconnected families. Each one of us either has a relative or personally knows someone who has a relative among the dead, kidnapped, or wounded. This is personal to us. This is personal to me.



I am sure many of you are just as shaken as we are and some of you also ask what can you do?

I think you can follow some of the people who share information and share it with more people. For example <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yoseph-haddad-a97a47198/">Yoseph Haddad</a> and Israeli Arab who has been a clear voice for quite some time. (He also has Facebook and Instagram pages).



As I am collecting the Perl-related articles and while I am writing this I hear the explosions as the Iron Dome takes down the rockets fired by the Palestinians to kill citizens in Tel Aviv. It is surreal. Unfortunately, this will be a bloody war with tens of thousands of casualties, but we will restore our security.

We don't have any other choice.

Clever use of CPAN modules to get the cool solutions. Brilliant work, keep it up.

  
### [Seize the Greatness](https://raku-musings.com/seize-greatness.html)

The zipper operator is so appropriate to get the job done. The end result is so elegant. Thanks for sharing.

Raku is very smart dealing with mathematical problems. Keep it up great work.

  
### [Perl Weekly Challenge 237](https://wlmb.github.io/2023/10/01/PWC237/)

Just love the use of POSIX and with one-liner makes it really nice. Cool work.

Here we got plenty of choices and that too discussed in details. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

### [Seize Greatness](https://blog.firedrake.org/archive/2023/10/The_Weekly_Challenge_237__Seize_Greatness.html)

I noticed Roger doesn't just stick to one language in the blog post. I love the explanation of different language. Thank you for the contributions.

  
### [Seize the greatness](https://dev.to/simongreennet/seize-the-greatness-38n0)

You get the taste of Python along with Perl. Always a pleasure to read the post.
