Overjoyed to have a poem, a ghazal, in Rattle.

@JohnHMcWhorter I’m so grateful for the NYT piece. Thank you so much.

[Bring Them Home Now @bringhomenow]

Yosef and Hamzah AlZayadni, father and son, were abducted while working together in the cowshed of Kibbutz Holit. Yosef, aged 53, and Hamzah, aged 22, live in Rahat.

Yosef is a father to 18 children and a grandfather to 22 grandchildren. Hamzah is married and is a father to two children that are eagerly awaiting their father and grandfather to come back home.

Yoesf's brother, Ali, is leading a prolonged effort to ask for the release of his family members from Hamas captivity. Yosef's younger children, Bilal and Aaisha, were abducted together along with their father and brother and were released in the recent deal.
The family was seperated in captivity, and only two members have returned home.

Since then, the returning children struggle to sleep and carry on while their father and brother are still in captivity. Yosef is described by his family as a beloved person who always knows how to resolve conflicts in peaceful ways. He is cherished by many as a dedicated father and grandfather. His family takes special care of him due to his diabetes, as he requires daily medical treatment to maintain his health.

Hamzah, at the young age of 22, is urged to return quickly to his wife and young children, back to the embrace of the family.

The extended AlZayadni family has been torn apart. There is a void that can only be filled when the family father returns home with his beloved son. It is a void that we cannot allow to keep open.

Bring them home now.

@Rythmol81 @IrwinCotler @JonahJameson11 So you justify Hamas terror?

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@LoveThePlateau @IrwinCotler Thank you

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@Dadazoid69 @IrwinCotler So does this mean you justify this act of terrorism? He calls Hamas terrorists but you do not? Why do you make false claims against Palestinian people who are also innocent victims in Hamas terror?

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@faisal_moola @IrwinCotler This is a time to grieve those killed, to seek help for the injured and kidnapped.

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@haroonkhan83 @IrwinCotler What are you doing for peace?

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@sherifsadek_ @IrwinCotler Who sees peace? Who can see Hamas as seeking peace?

[Melisa Cahnmann @cahnmann]

@greencrow12 @IrwinCotler @rexglacer So does this mean you justify this act of terrorism? Who created this is not the question. What are we doing to create conditions for peace? This is the question.

Twitter still feels like driving a Ford to me, a sophisticated device people I know like but still doesn’t feel right.
