Israelis are often said to wear their hearts on their sleeves, a testament to the warmth and compassion that define the spirit of this nation.
Since October 7, our hearts have been shattering on a daily basis, yet, in the midst of this turmoil, the true essence of our national character shines even brighter. And no matter how much money and effort is invested in slandering Israel and Israelis, you cannot convince anyone who has been to Israel or met Israelis that they are anything we are accused by haters of being.
In times of danger, our unity becomes our strength, and crisis seems only to fuel our creativity and drive to work harder.
What puzzles me, though, is the lack of this spirit on the other side. Where are the stories of compassion towards an Israeli woman, a child, or even an animal from them?
The Israeli heart is not just about surviving; it's about thriving with empathy, unity, and an unbreakable resolve.
