As ever, your wisdom and clear language shine through. So difficult to add anything to the torrent of words in the ether right now. My abiding memory of trips to Israel is one of professionals (in special education) sharing their experiences and expertise, learning from each other, and as an outsider not knowing who was Jew and who was Arab - AND IT DIDN'T MATTER. The Big Men on all sides - and it's mostly men - who slaughter, or are complicit in the slaughter, of innocent people will surely face a time of reckoning, if only with their own consciences.
So much horror. So much idiotic and uninformed comments about why this group is deserving of sympathy for the lost innocent lives while the other isn't. Much love to you and everyone in your life who are personally affected.
so much sadness. But you will steer your girls through.
Love you, sis
Jane

You said it powerfully, my dear friend. Sending love.
Thank you, Jane. It is so hard for us to speak up at this moment while we are struggling just to breathe. I am so glad you did.
And I am glad you did as well. Together, we will spread love.

Thank you, Julie. Sending love to you too.
