Torn Together How do you know that something is truly one and not many parts sewn together? Try to tear it apart...

Not Impressed
With the soldiers who threw their weapons down and refused to carry out the sin, yes I'm impressed.

Crying as you (dangerously) pull fellow Jews from their home? Nothing impressive.

Sickening.

G-d is the top General. Nobody else.

thank you for this photo library.

in the coming mths we are going to see the troops begin coming home from afghanistan.

there is residual and vivid ironies in every conflict; recent US war vets already returned from aghanistan said they were shocked to find some of the same conditions at home they had been brainwashed to believe only existed in afghani life: homelessness, sickness, corrupt governments, lawlessness & GREED GREED GREED.

now the canadians claim they've saved the lives of 40,000 children: but to be raised in what conditions? poverty? war?

this is all the more reason to pray feverently for the quickening of the coming of moshiach.

Thank you for this heartfelt teaching.
Absolutely beautiful! Sensitive & Soulful.

Shalom.

No one 'left' Gush Katif.

They were forced out.

Very powerful and emotional clip.

Thank you

This reminds me of a book...
I think everybody should read "Birds Without Wings." It is a quasi-fictional story based on the author's grandfather's childhood. It chronicles a small village in the then-Ottoman Empire that, prior to World War I was mixed muslim and christian, and everybody co-existed until they were caught up in war. The book ends (except for a prologue) with a march of death where the christians were forced to walk to the border, thousands of miles away. The book did an amazing job of illustrating the profound disconnect between the average citizen (who primarily wants peace and the chance to earn a living) and the politicians who wreak havoc on the world.

It is sad when people like those in this montage are forced to abandon their homes, their schools, their neighborhoods, their livelihood, because of academics in ivory towers who come to "peace" agreements. Where is the peace for the transplants? Where is the peace for the neighbors they left behind?
