"Every hostage must be released, particularly children and the elderly, without delay. That must be a precondition for any further concessions or gestures on Israel’s part and on the part of its allies. There simply is no moral or legal justification to hold infants and grandparents hostage."

Hamas’s significant number of foreign hostages enables the group to drive a wedge between Israel and its allies.

One of our close friends said this is the best article he has read. And I could not agree more!

How do you summarize a whole beautiful life into a few words, a few phrases, a few sentences? Each was a whole world. Each had so much more to live, so much more to give. Each was so beautiful. My heart hurts. How many more do we have to summarize down to a few words, phrases and sentences? G-d protect us, our children, our Homeland.

3 shivas in 1 night. That was what Nathan and I did last night. Because our son, their friend and fellow soldier, was not able to be there. (shiva is 7 day communal mourning period after a death)

A crash course on history of the MYTH of the PALESTINIAN STATE:

1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state.

2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state.

3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state.

4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state.

5. Before the Ayubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state.

6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state.

7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, not a Palestinian state.

8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state.

9. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state.

10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state.

11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state.

12. Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid, not a Palestinian state.

13. Before the Seleucid empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state.

14. Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state.

15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state.

16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state.

17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state.

18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state.

19. Before the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state.

20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE.

A little more history for those wanting to 'restore Palestine'.

In 132 AD the Emperor Hadrian resolved to stamp the Jews and their religion out of existence. He sold all Jewish prisoners into slavery after the revolt of Bar Kikhba, forbade the teaching of the Torah, renamed the province Syria Palaestina, and changed Jerusalem’s name to Aelia Capitolina. He renamed Israel to wipe out the national identity of Israel and the Jews.

So if you are looking to 'restore Palestine to the Palestinians', you need to give it back to the Jews

I wrote this poem a few months before we moved to Israel, nearly 19 years ago. We had 2 small boys aged 2 and 4 years old. We moved here with full-on, overwhelming determination, excitement and idealism. 19 years later, it is just who we are. The understanding that there is no other place. Our children are fighting for our country's survival and the survival of all Jews. We must keep Our Homeland safe

I was out shopping for my son's army unit this morning and a little girl handed this to me and said Shabbat Shalom (a peaceful Sabbath). It says: "with G-d's help, it will end sweet". Just something to lift our spirits
