a holiday of freedom when we have kidnapped victims whose fate is unknown, makes us all slaves again.  Even though we wore the shirts of the communities massacred, I couldn’t concentrate on the freedom. 

We cut the seder short and went home – but I didn’t sleep all night.  I was broken.

A friend called to ask why we have to involve the whole world in our conflicts, as my granddaughter, stuck in school at Columbia, show me the people shouting for the destruction of our people.  “10,000 times October 7th”.  That’s a bit more than “Go back to Poland!” which assumes we have another country, and that more than half of our population wasn’t evicted from Arab countries.   The ignorance of history, of sociology, of society, of the facts on the ground – astounds me.

Take for example, the support of Hamas by LGBTIQ – they would not fare well under shariya law.  what would make them ignore that danger?
