At our Thanksgiving dinner tables this year let us join hands and pray for peace. Let us try to put aside our differences, which will not be easy, and see each other in a positive light.
I know families torn apart because of the culture wars in our country, which Donald Trump unleashed by giving tacit permission for people to spout their racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia, in the public square.
There will be families at dinner tables torn apart because of the Israel/Hamas war. I specifically call it that, as it is not an Israeli/Palestinian war.
Israel is at war with a terrorist organization. As a Jew I am cognizant and heartbroken, that so many innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians have already died.
