Hostage-159 Days
War Stories
Upon arrival in Israel the machine where you scan your passport first shows you a few slides with pictures of hostages before you place your passport for an entry scan. When you leave, after you scan your passport and walk down to the main hall for your flight departure, you walk through a display of posters with the pictures of every hostage. Sixty-seven on each side. Some who are confirmed dead are marked as deceased. During the week I spent in Israel between that exit and entry, I have seen a nation sitting Shiva for 150 consecutive days and counting. I have looked at burned cars from the Nova festival, bullet holes in walls in Sderot and spent time with evacuees living in hotels throughout the country. It is devastating.
Next Thursday (March 21st) at 7:00 PM I will share my thoughts, pictures, videos and feelings on a Zoom program that I'd like to invite you to join. Please use this link.
