The pastoral towns and villages on the southern frontier of Israel will never be the same again. The horrifying events that transpired on this Black Saturday are beyond containment for the Israeli people. They evoke haunting memories of the Holocaust. In Israel, we uphold a saying, a commitment, that the Jewish people will never endure another Holocaust. We Israelis must overcome tragedies somehow, we have children to raise. We pray for peace that remains unseen on the horizon.
