Since I’ve been here we’ve been asked endless questions that prove to me how little is known outside Israel of the life we’ve been living for the past two years.  and in a way I thank the Lord that they don’t know.  Why should everyone have to suffer?  What they see is Gaza destroyed, and Gaza’s suffering is surely great.  But Gaza had control over saving their people in the same we our government had control.  I am sure we were bombed almost as much, and we kept the sites and the details out of the press to minimize the accuracy of the bombs.  Here, when I see the destruction in Gaza that isn’t emphasized as much in Israel, I can understand how there is little understanding or sympathy of our situation.  

let us hope we can make this into something positive.
