[Reading-hall-of-fame] We need your help

Oh my heavens Dorit, I realized from the news this situation was horrible but hearing it described through your voice made it even more horrific.
I totally echo Susan’s response. If you have a specific request please let us know.
Sending you and your loved ones continuous thoughts and prayers for peace or at least a truce for now.

We know now of at least 1300 civilians (including older people and children) who were slaughtered in their homes. The numbers are growing, and we have many wounded people. Over 150 were kidnapped, including babies, children, and older people. We have family and friends in the kibbutzim near Gaza. Luckily, they escaped and are fine. Yet, many of their children and friends were murdered within their homes or kidnapped. Their homes were ruined and burned. Our own children do not have shelters. So, they and our young grandchildren (14 people) are in our apartment because we have a shelter. Can you imagine missiles on Tel Aviv? Jerusalem? I am almost 65; I lived in many wars growing up in Israel. But this one is unbelievable. Yesterday, the Hizballah joined, and they shot missiles to the north of Israel.

Like many previous Middle East wars and campaigns, the world sympathizes with Israel until the tables turn with graphic pictures of death and destruction on the other side, particularly of innocents.  My heart is with the poor two million people in Gaza, but continuing like this is impossible.

Many, many people in Israel hold mild political views like the one that I have, favoring negotiation and peace and understanding the suffering of the Palestinian people. The Hamas doesn’t care for the people in Gaza. I know that Hamas spreads hate and tells lies. It is so vital that people worldwide will understand the situation and not be fed by lies!!! Please share the truth with friends.
