I’m still in shock. I still can’t believe what I’m hearing. I’m still in shock. I still can’t believe what I’m hearing. I can barely sleep knowing what has happened since that day. Knowing what is happening. Not knowing the true full horror that is still happening, or how worse is coming that she’s explaining. I can’t imagine worse, I just can’t. I wish I had something better or more important or intellectual to say right now but I don’t. Know that you are all very loved and very supported. I still don’t know how to get my head around this kind of unleashed evil in the year 2023, the 21st century. The world will not be the same--everything feels changed. Everything.
A very informative and sustaining conversation. Israel has no choice but to end Hamas, and it is going to be a lonely task I fear. I hope this American administration, my own country, doesn’t disappoint me, but I am really worried. Am Yisrael Chai.
