I mean to be fair it's not great to celebrate October 7 since it kicked off a horrible phase of an ongoing genocide that has left tens of thousands killed and millions homeless and destitute. October 7 was necessary, a strategic masterstroke that asserted the primacy of the Palestinian Question on the global stage, a moment of pure joy when they got past that fence, but celebrated wholesale in regards to all that's happened since? Eh mixed feelings. Hard to celebrate amidst the genocide. In 100 years though? Fuck yeah bring out the paraglider cosplays.

While it's not great, I think we all have to agree October 7th was one of the most heroic undertakings in all of history. Isntreal has responded as they always have, but before the Palestinians had simply been dying in a slow, ignored fashion- intentional genocide by a thousand cuts. And with the Abrhams accords, that triumph of evil- of genocide, of Nazism and Manifest Destiny- was just within sight.

The genocide was always happening, and was always going to happen- the Palestinians understood they were "dead" already (just like the Warsaw uprising, Spartacus' rebellion, or- as an example of success- the Haitian revolution, when one considers the sheer human turnover- ie. death- of the plantation economy), October 7th brought them new life.

I'd not celebrate October 7th for the reasons you described (but if Palestinians wish to do so, more power to them). But the triumph of humanity, even in and in spite of the most direst of circumstances, is always a beautiful thing to behold.

From the Hakagure (which is protofascist bs but this line fits)

Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one’s body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one’s master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead
