I was happy for the outpouring of Canadian pride on Canada Day. But although you say "there is hope", I don't feel it. Perhaps I'm hopeful that there could be another cease-fire in the war with Hamas and maybe the return of more hostages. But I continue to feel the hostility of the community at large. When I go to certain areas of Toronto I feel insecure and wary. My pride in Israel is just not accepted outside of the Jewish community.
I feel it too. But it makes me all the more determined to celebrate that pride inside the community and resist those who want to bring the hostility inside the tent.
I do like your posts. They are always right on...
Thank you Agnes
