Boy George reminds us why you can't reason with unreasonable Oct. 7 deniers – opinion

Boy George recently released "We Will Dance Again," a song honoring victims of the October 7 Supernova music festival attack, an act of courage in an industry often critical of Israel. The article discusses the predictable backlash and praise, focusing on a specific online comment claiming Israeli helicopters, not Hamas, killed festival-goers. The author, a rabbi and physician, reflects on his former mentor's advice: "you can't reason with unreasonable people." He applies this to the post-October 7 information war, where facts are often disregarded. The article explores three responses to such denial: retreating, fighting every battle, or choosing battles carefully to avoid being consumed by negativity. Ultimately, the author suggests that the most profound response is to continue building and living truthfully, rather than engaging in endless, unproductive arguments.
