Israel is the state my aunt & uncle helped build from a wasteland called Palestine. My pride in their accomplishments runs deep in my soul and it is painful to see what’s happening to the land for which they sacrificed so much. I regret that my aunt’s passing a year ago at age 100 went basically unnoticed (except of course by her family) by the state to which she gave so much.
