A new photo of my stepdaughter Alexis, who currently lives in the hottest of hot spots in the world. The Golan Heights. Israel. My Instagram feed has almost nothing but picture after picture of Jewish reality. Starting mainly from the Holocaust up to and including the Gaza war. It's as if nothing else of importance is happening anywhere.
Alexis will turn 60 in a few months! It seems incredible. No one can believe it
I worry about her and her family. A son is a soldier. Others will be one soon. Rockets are landing nearby. A big mess. I loathe war. Especially those who view it as necessary. Even desirable. What got into them? How did their brains become so snarled? Don't they understand how ashamed they will inevitably be? How they'll hate themselves for their misguided ways. There's no preventing this terrible realization. Just wait. I suppose I should pity them.
