when we say "sceasefire", we mean Netanyahu should stop roleplaying as a dictator and get a proper sceasefire deal. we mean the circle of violence and bloodshed must come to an end. we mean that we want our hostages home safe. we mean we want to live in peace without fearing Hamas. we mean PEACE.

As we approach the first year since the war started, we mustn’t forget why Israel is fighting this war

Gaza: Hundreds of face-covered men with guns, to maximise the terror their victims experience. The women were physically pushed to the Red Cross car.

Israel: the soldiers let the women exit the cars in their own terms. Everyone's faces are fully visible. The welcome party is very small, and spreads to not overwhelm the women. Most of the group are women soldiers. It's also not seen immediately, but most of the soldiers on the ground are mental health professionals.

Even physically, the female soldier move to be in eye level with Emily, as she asks her if she needs anything else.

Also, most of them wear face masks - which is especially important as we don't know how well (or unwell) is the women's immune system.

First hug as a free woman - the moment she starts to realise (it's real. I'm here. It's happening. I'm free).

Welcome back home Romi, Emily and Doron.

Linking a printable handout (meant for size a6, but you do you) with some basic things you can do to advocate for the hostages (based on info from Noa Reuvini (best friend of Ziv who has been taken hostage) ).

I also have a light version in case that's easier to print out for anyone.

Here's a preview:

I think every synagogue and community center should have clear information on what we can do to help advocate for the hostages, so I'd love to see more people reaching our to their rabbis to ask if its okay to have these available.
