MJ, sweet and healthy New Year! Have not seen Roudy, and Aris2. Hope they are well
And a L'shana Tova to you too regardless of whatever religion you may be. And don't forget the apples & honey.

Customs and Symbols of Rosh Hashanah
Apples and honey: One of the most popular Rosh Hashanah customs involves eating apple slices dipped in honey, sometimes after saying a special prayer. Ancient Jews believed apples had healing properties, and the honey signifies the hope that the new year will be sweet.
 
RE: Israel: Helping To Make A Better World
⁜→ MJB12741, et al,
Why should Israel care to save Palestinian lives so they can be thanked with rocket missiles? Wake up you Zionists. Treat the Palis like their Arab brothers do & LET THERE BE PEACE ALREADY!
(COMMENT)

Israel is trying to make it a "Better World." They care about the Arab Palestinians because that is a necessary element to making a "Better World." To do the opposite would show that there is no difference in mentality.

The Israelis help others in their struggles and challenges throughout life. It is one of their core beliefs (I think).

"The Undertaking" by Louise Glück
The darkness lifts, imagine, in your lifetime.
There you are - cased in clean bark you drift
through weaving rushes, fields flooded with cotton.
You are free. The river films with lilies,
shrubs appear, shoots thicken into palm. And now
all fear gives way: the light
looks after you, you feel the waves' goodwill
as arms widen over the water; Love
the key is turned. Extend yourself -
it is the Nile, the sun is shining,
everywhere you turn is luck.

Congratulation to Jewish-American poet Louise Elizabeth Glück, who was announced today as the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature for the year 2020!
Mazel Tov!
