sorry for the delay.  I had to go to the shelter.  The Yemenites surprised us with an early rocket.  

I’ve been talking to a friend who has been pressed by BDS to join the campaign against us.  How well I understand how terrible the situation in Gaza is.  How easy it would be to return the hostages and stop the violence.  Bibi’s announcement that he would stop only at the destruction of Hamas seems to have foiled that possibility, perhaps because he feared their surrender.  who knows?  All I know is that all of us are suffering in ways that cannot be repaired.  And no one deserves to suffer the way we Gazans and Israelis are suffering.
