The unprecedented support for Israel, during these difficult times, is heartwarming.? But unfortunately, Israelis have been through enough to know that once images of human despair start coming out of Gaza, governments and people will begin shifting their approach.?
To not be affected by images of despair is not human.? But at the same time I would hope you'd remember how this all started and try to understand the situation on a macro level.
Israel does not want innocent Gazans to suffer.? If it did, it would likely have finished off Hamas many years ago.? Instead, it exercised extreme caution by alerting civilians before every attack so that they could get out of harms way, invested (along with the United States) billions to develop precision missiles to limit civilian injuries and death, and put its own soldiers at risk by sending them into Gaza to perform surgical attacks.? It would have been much easier to simply continue bombing from the air until nothing is left.
The war will, in all likelihood, continue at least for several more weeks.? It may very well expand to southern Lebanon and Iran, which is behind the heinous attack that took place this past Saturday.
It's difficult to connect with situations that take place hundreds or thousands of miles away from you.? But as you begin losing interest, or worse – wavering in your support for Israel, think back to what happened on Saturday, October 7th, 2023.?

If you have a young daughter, imagine what you'd be going through had she been raped by dozens of savage men, then murdered, and her naked body paraded through the streets.? If you have small children – imagine them being kidnapped into a third world country, kept in cages, and harassed by local children speaking a foreign language.? If your elderly parents are alive – imagine them being dragged away to an unknown location by people, whose intentions are not so pure.? I could go on with examples of what Hamas terrorists did to Jewish residents of nearby villages this past Saturday – burning people alive, shotting indiscriminately, and beheading people.? To date, we know of more than 900 (!!!) civilians who were killed in such ways.? Over 130 – including infants, young women, mothers, and elderly – are being held captive in Gaza with no word of their situation.? Almost 3,000 have suffered injuries – broken bones, shrapnel, and bullet wounds.? Countless are in a state of shock.
When you start losing interest, remind yourself of the savagery that took place just a few days ago, and think what you would do to punish the perpetrators and prevent this from ever happening again.?
Israel will prevail in this war.? But it needs your continued help. Voice your support, take to the streets, and write to your leaders.? And yes - silence anyone who dares to condone Hamas and its actions, as they will not think twice about doing the same thing to your family.
