Dear Group,First of all I want to wish everyone who celebrates a safe and happy Passover with family and friends. Anyone in Israel or visiting who needs a place for Seder-you are invited to our house--we are in Kfar Saba--PM me.Secondly even though our focus is not on Israel I have to mention the SURREAL event that those of us in Israel just experienced Saturday night. With the help of U.S., UK and Jordanian airforces and it seems God, Israel survived an unprecedented situation with 300+ missiles fired at us from Iran (not knowing if, when or where they would land) with only one injury. I would say that is a modern miracle based on technology, the bravery of the combined forces and the resilience of the amazing people who live in and love Israel. I have lived here for 44 years and am proud to be an Israeli and American. A special thanks to Joe Biden for saying and doing the right thing and guiding our PM to do the right thing (finally). In my opinion and speaking as a Grandma/Savta, it is Am Israel's duty to do our best to ease the pain which we have partially caused in Gaza just as it is our duty to fight for our hostages to come home. I am fully aware (as most Israelis are) that many Gazans side with Hamas (some out of fear, some out of idealogy) but it is still what we need to do. We can not do it ourselves-getting the aid to Gaza is just the beginning, checking that there are no arms hidden in the flour (as in the past), delivering it to the people in need (not Hamas) is the hard part and the international community must help in solving that problem.Wishing everyone a safe and joyous holiday wherever you are.
