I’m reading God’s word every day and also Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs, by Patrick K. O’Donnell. My favorite uncle was a OSS paratrooper and jumped in behind enemy lines to wreck as much havoc as possible.
He never talked about the bad stuff but about the funny things that happened.
His name is not in the book but I’m very sure his picture is.
God’s word keeps me balanced and history reminds me we probably will not win another war.
Sounds fascinating, thanks for sharing. I’m looking at books about the French resistance. Book and Dagger by Elyse Graham is about how librarians played a role. Lots to learn.
Amidst the discouraging tone and cadence of our current days - Hoping to dig into some classics this summer. Recently found David Brooks “How to Know a Person” a very worthwhile read.
Mindy, the CT article made it very clear that Hamas has stolen and hoarded the aid that has come into Gaza. The blockade is meant to change this power structure and renew the aid through private companies, so that it can reach the civilians who need it - for free and not at exorbitant prices at the black market as has happened until now: stolen and resold by Hamas, allowing them to maintain their grip on the population - and giving them a source of income. Jill Nelson wrote an excellent article, sourced from within Gaza. Please honor her efforts to uncover the truth of the situation and be willing to expose the complexity of this war. Armchair politicians may simplify - Jill certainly provided a truthful picture from inside of Gaza. Thank you.

Great reporting and sharing. Thank you, Mindy.
Great to see your name pop up, Rick!
Thanks so much for your excellent Globe Trot news coverage
Having a Chiang Mai rainy season here, and makes me think of you.
Thinking of you too. God bless
Thank you for your important reporting Mindy.

Such a good book, and I just recommended it to a friend this weekend.

We agree that Jill's story presented the complexity, and that's why I linked to it.
Welcome in Jerusalem next time you’re in our neighborhood.
