I have been subscribed to a free online torah learning program for 2 years via a website I chose precisely because they seemed apolitical, dedicated to religion studies and not based in Israel, because my interest was in learning about the scriptures, (as I am very clear in distinguishing between Judaism as an Abrahamic faith and Zionism) ... every week they send emails on different aspects of judaism / torah studies / important historical figures etc. Today they sent this in part of a much longer newsletter seeking donations for families of the soldiers. I replied with firm outrage and promptly unsubscribed. Every one of us is preoccupied with worry for the 48,000 of our young Israeli soldiers and their commanders who are in Gaza right now, risking their lives on our behalf. Our young men are facing a cruel and torturous enemy who use every angle imaginable to kill and maim as many of us as they can. Each of us are wrestling with the question - what can WE do to help!? Two American teenagers answered that question by leaving their families and joining the Israeli army. They were killed two days ago in Gaza. They gave their lives for the honor of standing with their brothers in the battle, to protect all of us.
