Dear Susan
I was very happy to get a personal note on your request for friendship.
How lovely! Seeing your photos I thought that we may have things in common. I remember taking so many photos of this kind in my home, always (often) international guests have come to us, and it is such a joy that I feel I coulnd't live my life another way - that is what I love about Europe, there is that immediate possibility to meet people in other countries and to change cultures as soon as you get out of the country you are in.
Please, write to me and for the group. Glad to hear you are a friend of Myron, did he send you to the group?
Take care
looking forward to hearing more about you
Stephanie
PLEASE feel very free to write as many stories as you may have for 15,000
I would be very happy to see them, and so would the group. There are some very dedicated writers and one is Tree. He just wrote an incredible story
I just got home and found that your letter, which I thought you had written just to me, has caused all this agro.
I am glad you wrote what you wrote, and was glad to see it expanded in your letter to Margarita. It felt true, terribly so. It is also good to read Myron's comments, and I feel a connection of friendship, of people struggling to speak the truth. Personally I have great difficulty with such a violent and dismissive tone as Margarita uses.
I hope you do not stop communicating your thoughts and feelings, and that we can all stay in touch with Majed, and other friends in Gaza. It is very very difficult. I found it a little unpalatable when Myron said 'the seige will end', because it begs the question when - and to what cost?
Peace to this troubled region, to all the hearts that beat there.
Susan...yes it is rough..but i don't think you need shut up..but it may be more pleasant not getting sucked in..even Ipeace has its bad vibes..
I have no choice..i am in the real world hear...living amongst good people who think i am crazy for talking to majed..and have a hard time thinking that maybe majed is crazier for talking to me.
this place is a place i can work out being caught between my existential fears as an israeli..and fears of losing my humanity..
For outsiders..it might just be a place where they will go nuts.
Susan, I have corresponded with Margarita..I believe she is honest about herself. I do not go for her argumentative stance..but the visuals she is showing are no more than what we see of the Palestinian plight.
Sensitivity and anguish due to comparison the Holocaust and more so to Nazism is totally understandable in my view.
I just heard the talk of David Cassuto, whose father was killed in the Holocaust..his mother came to israeli to be reuinited with her children (who were hidden by Catholic families in Italy). She was a nurse at Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus and was killed in a medical convoy during the war in 1948.
Listening to what that family went through there (and he apologized to a Polish survivor, our plight in Italy was not like yours) and the hope that gave them the power to rebuild lives here..as the war wages on in the south was very emotional.. all the images of then and now...coalescing on the one hand..
Our need to Live...and let live.
Susan...
I must say..if my son were in the army now i would not feel shame.
The siege will end..
Will it bring any quiet to us..
will it bring more freedom for them..
Hi Susan...first i thought your letter was private..(methinks it might have been better that way:-) Anyway check out her page..i think you will see my thread with her.
Emotions on the loose can collide head on with other, equally powerful and equally well intentioned emotions of the other..

In the end..it can not be the same..It may remind us..But it can not be the same.
I can explain it..i can differentiate between them..but no..it is more honorable to feel the shame.
