Way, way back many centuries ago, Jacob’s favorite son taught us how to prevent a famine. The key is a little advance planning, and the understanding that suffering knows no borders.
Thank you for the mention of Joseph and how important it is for all of ones charges to be taken care of.
I find it totally unbelievable that the Israeli Government could do this to the Palestinians. Yes, what was done to the people of Israel was despicable! Yet, in my opinion what they were doing to civilians, especially the children is/was even worse.
How can a people who were so thoroughly traumatized, starved, murdered do the same to another group of people?
I am glad that you and the other Rabbis have spoken up. In order to get enough food in, there needs to be more access and protection of workers also. I hope that the Israelis keep their word and do make a sincere effort to help the Palestinians.
It’s impossible to hit a 💙 on this latest article. All week long, in comments I have written, I’ve implored readers to remember the plight of the Palestinians. Starvation in a time of plenty is insanity. Israel’s NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR is starving. Flood the zone with aid trucks. Airdrops are incredibly dangerous for everyone involved. From afar, this situation smacks of Nazi genocide.
Thank you Rabbis for forcefully addressing this issue. (With a strongly worded letter).
The letter does my heart good. Thank you for bringing this to our attention as well as the Joseph story. It is uncanny that anyone can support this action by the Israeli government.
