Thank you, Netanyahu family

On Thursday, while walking through the devastation of the Iranian missile strike on Soroka Hospital, Netanyahu was asked about the cancellation of his son Avner’s wedding, Netanyahu said: “All of the people of Israel are paying a price and bearing that price in an extraordinary way, and I am proud of the citizens of Israel.”

“There are personal costs, people were injured, there are people who unfortunately were also killed, families who have lost loved ones, and I very much appreciate that. Each one of us bears a personal cost, and it did not skip over my family. Yes, for the second time, my son Avner, because of the threat of missiles and missile fire, is canceling a wedding – that is certainly a personal cost. It is dear to him, and also to his fiancée and our family. I must also say, my dear wife is a hero, she bears a personal cost,” he said.

Yes, Netanyahu’s personal cost in this war is very high. His son had to postpone his wedding. OMG, how can he and his family get through this huge personal tragedy?

While soldiers in Gaza are being killed, injured, and maimed daily, his son’s wedding postponement certainly tops those ‘minor’ personal prices. While 53 of our people are still hostages for 622 days, suffering the hell of Hamas captivity, starving, enduring torture, sickness, disease, and dying more every day, his son’s wedding postponement certainly is a much greater tragedy. While millions of Israelis must run to protected spaces multiple times day and night, homes getting destroyed by missiles and people are being killed and injured, his son’s wedding postponement is certainly more difficult than all of that other suffering.

The list goes on of how the Netanyahu family’s tragedy of the wedding postponement is certainly worse than any national crisis and tragedy. We all need to take a minute, stand in silence and honor the sacrifice of the Netanyahu family for the good of us all. Thank you, Netanyahu family, from the bottom of our hearts. I can’t imagine how we can get through this period of time, thinking that everything happening around us has any importance when you, Netanyahu family, are going through such a personal crisis. We tip our hats to you for your great sacrifices for the State of Israel and the Jewish People.

This war has pushed the hostages off of the front pages, and for that matter, off of any pages of most of the Israeli press, and that is unforgivable. We still have 53 hostages withering away in the hell of Gaza, undergoing torture, starvation, sickness, disease, loss of hope, and dying more every day that they remain in captivity.

We cannot allow anyone to forget about the hostages and the hostage families. Their war is the most important war we have, and the most unfortunate aspect of this war is that it is a war with our prime minister and government. It is in the hands of the prime minister who can bring them back immediately and all at once, if he could only put the needs of the State in front of his own personal political war of survival.

Mr. Netanyahu, your statement of your family’s personal price in this war is a disgrace and shows your total inability or desire to see and feel the pain of the majority of the country. Bringing home the hostages should have been your first priority starting on October 7, and the deal of November 2023 should have brought home all hostages. The blood of so many on October 7 and the last 621 days is directly on your hands, whether you agree to take responsibility or not. Don’t add the blood of the 20 remaining living hostages to your hands as well. Bring them home now for rehabilitation and the dead for proper burial. For once since October 7, DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE A DEAL TO BRING THEM HOME NOW!

“I’ve never met them,
But I miss them.
I’ve never met them,
but I think of them every second.
I’ve never met them,
but they are my family.
BRING THEM HOME NOW!!!”
