Torah perspective

A man ran into fire on October 7 and carried thirty people to safety. Three years later his family's homes lie in ruins, and he says none of it had meaning because in the end he is still an Arab. The Torah warns against exactly this: "You shall not abhor an Egyptian, for you were a stranger in his land" (Devarim 23:8). Gratitude is not conditional on the other's identity. The sages derive from this verse that we may not close the door on those who once stood with us. A society that measures a person only by his group has already lost something precious. The rescue was real. So was the betrayal.
