In this edition we mark the sad birthday of 5-year-old Ariel Bibas, the little redhead being held by Hamas with his baby brother and parents. We also want you to know about the courageous stand taken by Ayelet Samerano against the UNWRA secretary-general in Lausanne.
Read about how long can a hostage survive in captivity, about Turkey in NATO, the threats to Israel from Iran and Hezbollah and what the IDF says might happen.
In this issue, we’ve chosen to highlight the need to Bring the Hostages Home Now because time is running out, Gazalighting and its even more evil twin - UNRWA, and the need for new elections in Israel to end the divisive role that the government is playing in the middle of a war.
We also have a guest article by Ilan Samish entitled “Elections Now! A cry of a growing protest throughout Israel”.
In Hearts Divided by Conflict, we look at the tear wrenching relationship between war and love. In UNRWA Supports Terror, is a must read section full of surprises - even for those who have been following the news. The War in Gaza section gives you a little insight that you might not get if you depend on the New York Times or Washington Post for news about it.
Hostage Stories contains first hand reports of the conditions in which they were held and in which the remaining 134 are living under. The Great Pretenders in Congress - Eyes-On-You is about many of the members of Congress that pretend to care about your values - but don’t. Not all members of congress are the same - but a deep-dive into some of them might surprise you. Israeli Politics brings you up-to-date with what is happening in Israel, as Israelis see it. This is very different than what most of the editorialists, like Thomas Friedman, write.
Best of all - we have some fun calls for action that you can both enjoy and actually help out at the same time.
