@LahavHarkov Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel is about soldiers experience in Vietnam

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

@KassyAkiva Thanks Kassy - a lot of us have started having our kids sleep in the shelters (those who have in our houses) but then we parents run back and forth ourselves. We're all exhausted either way, especially because the kids are all home from school. It's tough but necessary!

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

@Caitlyn_Jenner You're the best!! Come back soon to a brand new middle east!

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

@Caitlyn_Jenner Thank you @Caitlyn_Jenner for standing with us!

בשולי הדברים, מתברר בפרשיית צביקה קליין שגם אם עלית לארץ בגיל *שנתיים* לא תיחשב ישראלי ממש אפילו בעיני מי שמנסה לתמוך בך.

My latest op-ed-
This is for everyone that has had to answer the toughest questions from their kids when they themselves could barely figure out the answers.
Our pain, our children's pain and trauma matters. It should be part of the conversation.

Very glad to share my latest op-ed, discussing the Israel-Diaspora relationship and its importance in the context of the war, in this weekend's edition of The Jerusalem Post!

@KassyDillon The guy in the video is a friend. He's an American-Israeli, as are many other IDF soldiers but he is not a marine. He's doing a take on Inglorious Bastards, a movie that many soldiers have been spoofing (understandably) to boost morale. He's a great guy and a great soldier!

My brother was interviewed by @TreyYingst.
He described the trauma he and his family experienced at the hands of Hamas a couple of weeks ago and the light their new baby is in their lives.
Yet another example of how Hamas just seeks to destroy while Israel cherishes every life.

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

Israeli mothers are delivering babies in a fortified maternity ward as Hamas continues to target major cities with rocket fire.

This is my sister in law's brother. He is one of the lucky ones, many others were not. Read, share, make the truth known far and wide

No one comes together in a crisis like Israelis.

As devastating as the last days have been, the stories of bravery and kindness have come pouring in in the thousands.

This is Israel and it's why we will overcome every obstacle and win every war - because we fight as one.

[India Naftali @indianaftali]

Israel unites! 🇮���� As soldiers like my husband Hananya headed to the front lines, our fellow Israelis showed their support by generously distributing food and water.

Hananya told me he was grateful to receive two bottles of water and ice cream, a testament to the incredible spirit of national unity we’re experiencing during these difficult times.

Many people are asking what they can do -
1. Share, post, spread the truth of what we are going through
2. Check in on friends and loved ones in Israel
3. Donate to organizations that are working to provide resources to those in need
https://t.co/umsvwsGOak is just one of them

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

We're battered and our hearts are broken but we will rise and fight like the warriors we are. כאיש אחד בלב אחד.

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

This is a picture my son drew - being creative helps him process his feelings. It breaks my heart that this is what my children have to cope with at such a young age.

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

He doesn't know that so many of our loved ones - family, friends, people we know and care about, have been called up to serve in a war the likes of which he's never known or seen before.
He knows one thing - that we have the greatest army in the world that will keep him safe.

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

@LahavHarkov Any recommendations for where we in Israel can watch?

[דן אילוז - Dan Illouz @dillouz]

צפו בראיון עם רביב דרוקר בו הוא התלונן על כך שיש לי יומרות וחזון גדול למדינת ישראל שאני מנסה ליישם כחבר כנסת חדש.

הוא גם ניסה לתקוף אותי על הצעת החוק שלי, שמקבלת חשיפה בינלאומית בכלים פיננסיים ויכולה להביא משקיעים רבים לארץ, כאילו היו לי מניעים זרים בהגשתה.

לא אפסיק לחלום בגדול לטובת מדינת ישראל ולעבוד קשה למען הגשמת אותם החלומות.

באתי לעבוד, וכך אמשיך לעשות.

[Meira Lerner @MeiraLerner]

@USAmbIsrael A few hours ago, 4 innocent people were murdered and 4 more seriously wounded by terrorists. Are you comparing that to the defense of Israeli citizens through tactical operations of the Israeli army to take down terrorist operatives? I would suggest you rethink that.
