It is unbelievable to me that so many people in the US aren’t horrified by Hamas. This would be like, in the US, if Native Americans decided that our ancestors took the land from their ancestors (which, unlike the situation in Israel, is pretty undeniably true), so they were going to kill everyone of European ancestry in the US and take it back. And then they proceeded to launch an attack where they stormed into the suburbs, broken into homes, and tortured and killed as many people as possible. Never mind that none of those ancestors on either side are alive anymore, and we are all individuals who have an equal voice in government and an equal right to work and acquire property. I don’t think that the people cheering Hamas would find it quite so defensible if they were on the receiving end of it, and were attacked by people they’d never personally done anything to.
I’m not Jewish, but I am appalled by everything happening. I work with an international team and one of my Israeli colleagues was killed in the attack. I hope that you know that there are many people who just can’t believe what’s happened in the US. The world has gone mad. I’m sorry.
Amazing article. I will share it wisely—and wisely. But is it possible to have a conversation with you Danielle? I would absolutely like to be part of your world.
I am a ghostwriter, book publisher and promoter— 50 successful books so far. I am 83 and have a popular blog. I am proudly Jewish and spend two weeks in Israel in August. I’d love to talk to you and see how we can work together all of us, to help turn the tide. JUDY KATZ. May I have your email? Jkatzcreative@gmail.com.
One of the most sobering columns I've read these recent weeks. Thanks, Danielle, and may God bless you and your family in these times and always.

I am descended from pogrom survivors. I cannot believe my eyes. Hoping against hope for your beloved hostage, and them all.
Yes. Thank you.
Can y’all stop killing kids now?
Our family shares your anguish
