Hello Jason,
I tried to post this, but it wouldn't "stick." I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your write-up.
Jason, my one true Jewish friend, Isaac, died in April of this year. As a child, he was on a train to a death camp when the British attacked it thinking it was transporting munitions. The train derailed. People spilled out. Nazi guards fired on them. Four-year old isaac was shot in the neck and the arm. For hours he lay beside his dead mother. After dark, his 8-year old brother, who had escaped to nearby woods, came to retrieve him. A compassionate farm family briefly sheltered the boys. It took years, but by various means and benefactors, the boys eventually made their way to Israel. Isaac taught me many things, such as Arabs serve on the Israeli Knesset, that IDF sends leaflets to warn civilians of an attack. I so appreciate your detailed write-up, which concurs with what Isaac told me. If only more people knew the history...and believed it. Thank you Jason.
