Whiplash is exactly how I feel when interacting on "social" media concerning Israel/Palestine. I seem to elicit the same sorts of responses from both "sides" of the cheerleader keyboard warriors - those who are more concerned about being on the "right" side than for the actual people that live between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
This is extraordinarily good. Thank you for the kind perspectives. I know I’m not alone in wishing I could spend an hour with you talking over cups of coffee.

That's exactly how I've been feeling: whiplash. I've got haters on both sides of this issue. I feel you!
I decided I have to act on 1 issue. I chose the hostages. I found a group I could join, and pledged a small monthly contribution.
As a religious Jew, I also added a prayer for them to my daily prayers. In my worldview, that is acting, too.
That's what I am capable of from a senior apartment in Israel.
We all must do what we can, and know that there are many others to do the things we can't.

Thank you for the kind words!
