I'd say they'd be welcome in Valhalla

Amichai was calm and told his wife on Whatsapp to make the children feel good as today is Simchas Torah. This was the last she heard from him. A few hours after the fighting started, a terrorist surprised Amichai Yisrael and Moshe Yedidia from behind and murdered both of them. Amichai (33) left five children and Moshe (31) left three children. Both were friends from the same community (Psagot), both were studying social work in Ashkelon and both came to help the struggling kibbutz. It was their heroic struggle which saved the kibbutz members from the fate of neighboring communities. All of the families were saved (two other members of the fighting group were injured) and nobody was taken captive. The army arrived only at 1 PM after the group had fought off Hamas for six hours.

Hail, gentlemen.

I want this to be completely respectful to their memory, and their actions to resist evil. They were SOCIAL WORKERS! Even so, they did not allow the" poor, misunderstood and oppressed Palestinians" to go undeterred. All quiet people are capable of great resolve. All savages deserve only pain and destruction, and those that supported their terroristic activities can contemplate their behavior as they starve and dehydrate.

Indeed. Fight for everyone so that they can live and teach the children to remember their names.

Can your neighborhood hold off Hamas until the govt arrives to help?

Not that farfetched a question today... open borders, an administration that is helping people make it to our borders from the south and soft support of the growing anarchy.

I have been a fervent supporter of Israel since a very young age, due to my reading the book, Medical Block Buchenwald. From the treatment of the Jews during WWII, my heart has always been with them.
Events such as those witnessed in recent days have divided so many people, even those in America, when all should have instead been sickened at the depravity of those who would seek to wipe the nation of Israel from the face of the earth. And let there be no mistake, there are many nations who support any actions against Israel.
My prayers are for both those who have suffered loss, and for those who are standing in the gap, to both punish Hamas, and to make certain that they never again have the ability to do such an unthinkable act.

If they were social workers, they were the best social workers I've ever heard of!
