@sickmatter Why wait? Mind you, half our family came from Israel to live in California. I guess now it’s the other half’s turn. The ones in CA used to go back to visit every year, but now they have nowhere to return to cause they came from Nir Oz.
@sickmatter Meanwhile, my 40 year old son announced last night that he’s considering aliya.

After noting the massive number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza and the destruction caused by Israel's military, Biden says "tonight, I’m directing the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the cosast of Gaza that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters. No U.S. boots will be on the ground."
"Here in the chamber tonight are American families whose loved ones are still being held by Hamas. I pledge to all the families that we will not rest until we bring every one of your loved ones home," says Biden in SOTU.
