Thank you, Pat, for thanking Israel on our behalf (behalfs? behalves? 😂). If I could somehow send your words to every single Israeli, I would. Thank you, Israel, for fighting this fight for all of us. Some of us recognise the importance of what you are fighting for. Please remember that. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱. With love, admiration and respect from a small town in south-east England x

Todah Rabah to you Pat for being such an unwavering and dedicated voice speaking up loud and clear and shining the light on Israel, at a time when so much of the world doesn't see doesn't listen doesn't understand and does not care.

Thank you. I was depressed after reading on Tripadvisor that some European countries are no longer safe for Jews to visit as we would be grilled about our position on Israel if we "look Jewish" or have Jewish surnames and may be violently attacked if we do not say we are anti-Zionist and unless we agree that it is a genocidal country on stolen land that should be destroyed. We are advised against using ride services or taxis as the drivers may "research" us on social media and attack us. The heavy weight of lies and threats is getting me down! But your post cheered me up.

Fantastic post—can you forward it to the Israel—hating governments of Ireland, Spain, Norway, Canada, Australia, etc., etc.

Pat, this is a beautiful way to end 2024. Your words are inspirational and remind us of what Israel has done for the world and what it will always continue to be- a bright light, a beacon, a symbol of hope for all Jews and humanity. Thank you for writing this. Happy New Year. Am Israel Chai🇨🇦🇮🇱

You have listed many of the positives coming from Israel that its enemies love to deny or discredit. I’d like to add that when Israel deployed the pinpoint pager and walkie talkie attacks, the insane response worldwide was negative.

May I join with you in thanking Israelis. When I think of the sacrifices made by the young soldiers and their families my heart aches. They are protecting western values, but with the exception

of a few golden voices, their achievements are discredited when they should be applauded and thanked.
