Trapped Once Again
There is a well known Holocaust anecdote that has a Jewish prisoner standing up to his Nazi superior stating that he thanks god every day that he is the victim and not the perpetrator..
that he is the one getting killed and not the one killing.
The State of Israel is in a situation worse than Auschwitz.
It’s surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers.
Getting picked off by sadist guards.
And it’s also perpetrating the death of women and children.
And causing grief.

All her enemies will trap her between the fences...
Moral fences are more lethal than electric barbed wire
Body
Soul
The body doesn’t like getting killed
The soul doesn’t like killing
We have been blessed and cursed with an overactive soul
Quite possibly the worst exile we’ve ever been in..

so incredibly true and sad.. as much as this war is needed and justified, i cant help but feel such pain for the israel soldiers. everyone of them goes to sleep at night knowing in his conscience what he was driven to do.. that kind of trauma eats at one's soul...
oof.. how much longer :(
That was so powerful and so true...
What's sad and tragic is that they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, they need to stop Hezbollah. And on the other hand is the casualties. However, I think people are shortsighted when they tell Israel to stop now. Because if they do, there will be more casualties in the long run because Hezbollah wasn't disarmed. It's a very tragic situation. And I hope the redemption comes soon.
Amazing short, powerful post. That pic reminds me of my trip to poland.
in these 3 weeks we remember how the walls of yerushalayim were surrounded so many years ago and now eretz yisroel is surrounded by it's enemies once again...may we be zoche to see the real yeshua and geulah right away!
Powerful post.
perhaps the worst and definitely the longest.
too long
I never thought about it quite like this before. At first I was upset that you depict Israel negatively for doing what they have to do, then I understood... you are saying that this is what makes it so terrible, so sad... I agree. But better this way where Israel may be condemned once again for doing what they need to do... than just being led to be slaughtered.
oy! how sad! what a way to describe whats going on right now. I just hope there s happy ending, can you write one?

chaverah...
Hmmm...i gave u a heavy post to counteract the lite ones u were complaining about.
i was not complaining, chas vshalom!lol
Nothing happens by coincidence, and I firmly believe that Hashem made the matzev in Israel coincide with the Three Weeks just so, among other reasons, we have an EMPATHETIC (as oppposed to sympathetic) understanding of what our brethren in previous galus have gone through.
chavera...
