Greetings to our friends all,

As the blind, hateful, cruel vengeance acts increase everywhere from day to day, including Massafer Yatta, I have a hard time writing. At times a cloud of helplessness blocks my way to my source of strength and I am too exhausted to argue with it. This is why I have not written anything for two weeks. But leaving a blank slate does not do justice to our friends, so I shall write about several encounters:

On Monday, February 12th, we visited Tha’ala. “3 days ago, we took the flock that my cousins and I share out to graze. We got them 200-250 meters from our home towards the wadi, which is registered with all the official echelons including the army as the privately-owned land of the villagers. About 30 soldiers/settlers arrived immediately, and a drone hovered over the flock for an hour to terrorize the sheep. And they were scared. Damages: 30 sheep were hurt, most of them died. Pregnant sheep died giving birth to dead lambs. Other sheep were injured, and now they no longer function. Our heart goes out to these animals, and the financial loss is great – 50,000 shekels.”

This is how Y. describes the assault in his monotonous voice, neither weeping nor raging. He just describes in detail, with precision, trying to be true to what happened and not to what he feels. When I ask him what he feels, he says that what he told us is already what he feels. I told him (as I have told many others in recent weeks) that he is a hero….

Our old friend Jeff doesn’t post often these days, for he has other commitments in his life, but when he does post, he is spot-on!!!  He accurately sums up the situation here in the U.S. as regards the upcoming election (upcoming in 8 months, that is) and puts the onus right where it belongs … in OUR hands!  Thank you, Jeff, for your timely post … good to see you again!!!
