A while ago, the governing body of an area tries to rid the world of Jews.
Later, a new governing body of the same region is arming itself to attack the Jewish state.
The first attempt didn't succeed due to the courage of a few brave Jews, and this is the reason we celebrate Purim today.
The second attempt, no matter how violent and destructive, will not succeed to kill the Jewish spirit. I don't know about the buildings and human lives and casualties and cities and land, but I do know that it will not kill the Jewish spirit, it will not rid the world of Jews.
As depressing as it is for anybody to look into the future and predict how this situation will end, we can do so with the knowledge that we prevail, we live on. Over and over again, we succeed to continue. I am sitting here on the couch in a Superman costume covered in glitter and glue and feathers with a kid's song stuck in my head and hamantaschen in my stomach because of it.
