I just want to point out that today is Purim, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the moral and spiritual obligation to fight back against people, societies, and systems that are trying to kill you and eradicate your people.
It specifically and explicitly calls upon people to fight back in self-defense.
“to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, and to slay, and to cause to perish, all the forces of the people and province that would assault them”.
Purim sameach.
