Your words capture what many of us think and have felt over the past year Fred. And the fact that it is 'not on their radar screen' is a sad reflection of where we are at as a western democracy where supposedly everyone is well educated and engaged. Not. I spent a good part of the past twelve months explaining the most basic facts about the Middle East to people, because it does impact all of us. That way it got on people's radar screen, hopefully. But it is hard work and I commend you for your efforts.

It is the beginning of a New Year, but certainly not like the secular "out with the old and in with the new". The offensive in Gaza is going "well" whatever that means, but every day is different and a continuation of Oct 7, 2023. May it only get better. Shana tova. We have to as always, depend on ourselves as Jews.
