A few weeks back I met a girl and we got on famously and it was about as fine a mental dance as it’s possible to have as we grew hooked on each others minds.
Your writing is spectacular. Thank you for sharing such personal thoughts. You have been one of the bright lights these 9 months but it must be exhausting. I, for one, thank you for your wit, your direct and candid musings. You deserve to be able to breathe and ‘holiday’ and be loved. After all, you’re human just like all of us.
Beautiful, you write so well. Feeling similarly myself lately. I've long wondered how you've kept it going, so much energy you put out, angry optimism and rallying us, the troops. Take care of yourself. Animals in the wild hide when they're feeling low. They know if they pop their head up it will get bitten off if they don't watch it. We're in the wild too, most of us just don't admit it, and we humans are at least as vicious as any animals. You take the time you need. You have given us your all and we love you for it. We'll be here when you come back.
Jewish influencers must be some of the most exhausted ppl on earth, I run a FB page and my feed is full of beautiful young Israelis all murdered by Hamas on Oct7th and the flip side is the rest of the world (or so it seems) marching in support of Hamas and demanding these savages are rewarded with statehood.
I’ve no idea how Lee keeps going and he does indeed inspire the rest of us smaller accounts to keep fighting.
But we all need a rest, although it seems like we don’t have that luxury.
Perhaps Aliyah really is the best option for many of us moving forward and putting our energy into creating an even better and stronger homeland.
I read what you wrote. Thinking of all the the flights you took, back and forth to Israel, 5 or 6 times,I am not sure, advocating for Israel, puting, sort of, aside your career. This is exhausting, Nine months into the war, that's the most ever depressing I have ever experienced in Israel, and this country, has been through a lot. We are loosing a lot of soldiers in this war, and we haven't started the war in the north yet, the hostages are not here. I go to work, and I hear people who wants to have a foriegn passport...and I was brought up to believe in this country, so it's tough. War is not a happy thing for no one.
How am I ? or anyone else are supposed to find strengh ? I feel drained. I am reminding myself, as I always knew, that in some days gravity feels havier, twice havier, in Israel, because this is Israel. Life in Israel are intense, in a way, that a stranger, will never understand. In some way it is our badge of honor, DEALING with the things. Our badge of honor comes to us from dealing with it, for TRYING hard.
And when you will have that Aliyah interview, it is possible that who will ever interview you will say to you " Thank you for coming to Israel, and believing in this underdog country...and especially believing in this country in the hot days of the summer " (or something like that).
I felt like I was in Jerusalem reading this,you do really help with your words and humour in these peculiarly hideous times.I’m sure it must take its toll,I have to take days off from online arguments and I’m not half as prolific as you.Have a rest whenever you can and enjoy our wonderful Homeland.

Your writing heals me. Thank you
