The world is preparing for the first anniversary of October 7, 2023 — many will honour the victims, some will celebrate the perpetrators. It will be a painful and revealing moment, as so much of the past year has been.

The Netanyahu speech needs remembering, too — mostly by the man himself, who seems to have entirely forgotten it, conceding to Hamas a victory that certainly is not due.
