We see the pain, the strength and resilience. We stand with the people of Israel! We are one!

It's worth pointing out, Rav Danny, that מורת רוח, the name of the teachers' trio, has a double meaning beyond the common colloquial "bitter spirit" - the words literally mean "teacher of spirit(uality)".

Incredible work, thank you for introducing us to it

The teacher's song is one of the saddest I heard in my long life and also, without any doubt, the most beautiful one.

Spare us the BS, Tariq. I'm not sure if you're aware but there are hundreds of thousands of Arabs living within Israel proper. No one is genociding them. In the PA controlled West Bank and the Gaza Strip (under regular circumstances) however, there is not a single Jew. If a Jew were to enter there, they would be killed instantly.

If Israel was really interested in ethnic cleansing the Gaza Strip, they have enough ammo to turn the place into a parking lot in 5 minutes flat. No need to risk so many soldiers lives. The only reason the IDF is in Gaza to begin with is precisely because the DON'T act like Arabs!

First of all, I'm not a party to this. I'm not Jewish. But stop deflecting and answer my question: Why are there hundreds of thousands of Arabs living comfortably in Israel and not a single Israeli in Arab controlled West Bank and Gaza Strip?? Why hasn't "Nazi Israel" nuked Gaza yet? Until you can come up with an answer, shut the fuck up.
