Sadie-Rae: leave it all behind. Come to Israel. We need people like you. Start a garin, make plans. Come home.

My heart is officially broken. You are so right Sadie. Our world was forever changed after Oct. 7. And now we know.

Thank you for enunciating the frightening reality.

The image wasn't displayed when I opened this, and in place of it, the search engine print read

"person holding gold cross pendant necklace"....

I don't live amongst Jewish community here in New Zealand.

It has been a source of low level anxiety for me - fearing the next friend or acquaintance, who will make some kind of ".... isn't it awful what's happening to...." type of comment.

I have been wearing my beautiful marcozite Magen David brooch, and I'm gutted that I seem to have lost it, I have no idea where it came off, and I even fear asking in the places I've been, whether my precious Star of David has shown up.

So very many mixed emotions, and over-reactions well up inside me.

Please G-d that we come through this. Am Yisrael Hai

I'm so sorry that what I wrote resonated with you in New Zealand. I can assure you that the image is not of a cross, I'm not sure what it is coming up that, but I do apologize for that. I hope that you are able to locate your Magen David. Am Yisrael Chai.

I did see the image, once it loaded, of the gold magen david; my point was more the oddness of the google algorithm, that didn't say "star". No apology needed from you; Google's narrow mindedness at fault!

All true. Everything is illuminated by a harsh light. We know our enemies.
