I agree, my friend. On another topic, I know it will be difficult in the current situation; however, I want to wish you a Happy Hanukkah. my friend. We have very misled views on our college campuses here in the U.S.A. concerning what going on in the war. My prayers are with you and yours, Gershon. Bill

What else could be expected but to destroy those who committed such atrocities!

I agree, Gershon. The perpetrators of such horrific acts against humanity should, at the very least, be punished and severely. I can feel your anger and pain. hugs, Sara
