it is somewhat strange that I received this invitation at the very moment I was going to post a very moving video found on my father’s page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kikarashabat/videos/1130539573637137/
And of course with these came quite a few other videos showing that beyond political differences and beyond the Israeli government’s blind policy towards the illegal settlements which we, diaspora Jews from JCall and JStreet deeply deplore, there is a human reality we also have to acknowledge and be grateful for.
