Some joyous news today!!
So, today Hamas released hostages Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher.
However, I also feel that Israelis and Jews everywhere need some respite from the psychological toll that the hostages situation has had.
I cannot even imagine how these three families, and the friends of these three hostages must be feeling right now. 🙏🫂
I am especially delighted as Emily Damari is a fellow Brit.
It is good to see hostages released, though only three at present. I can't help feeling that it will give Hamas the opportunity to reinforce their troops and weaponry. In six weeks, the war will resume, too.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for your voice, Liam, which is a very lonely voice here in blogland, so few understand what's really going on. Your question about the price we pay is correct, the answer is probably the great commitment we feel towards each other. We have a kind of mutual guarantee that stems from the fact that we are not many in the world. With all the hatred towards us, all we can do is stick to each other and therefore we will never give up on anyone, even if it comes at a heavy price.
ReplyDeleteThree lovely young women who otherwise would have been studying, creating families or establishing their careers. Even though the rest of their lives may be traumatised, I still think we saw a miracle here.
