HAND IN HAND

I sent my end of the year contribution to Hand in Hand today. There are so many worthy causes that are important, but unfortunately my budget is limited and therefore my contributions must be focused. I am a Jew concerned for the safety of my fellow Jews and all other people on Earth everywhere, but I am particularly concerned with Israel which has the greatest concentration of Jews (about 40 per cent of all the Jews in the world) and where that population still faces an existential threat. Israel/Palestine (the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River) also is home to a large number of our cousins, the Palestinian and Israeli Arabs. After about a century of conflict, bringing permanent peace and equality to the people in that land must come primarily from the bottom up, not just from negotiation by politicians at the top. Hand in Hand is supported by Reuven Rivlin (the president of Israel). Googling Netanyahu (the prime minister of Israel) and Hand in Hand comes up with no result, positive or negative.
